Hello,
I am trying my TextMate with a new test blog at http:// fnino.wordpress.com All my posts (many times the same one...) are made with TextMate, so configuration seems ok. The "preview" of the post is ok as well. However, all my posts are sent exactly as they appear in textmate; that is, with the original markup *without* conversion to HTML (I tested both markdown and textile, same behaviour). I even posted an image showing this in a post, but the image is not shown as it is not interpreted as HTML. I am not sure if this is a bundle (Blogging) problem or a TextMate problems. It is probably a stupid thing I forgot to do (but what ??).
Any ideas someone ? Thanks,
Fernando
I'm curious about this as well. On Allan's suggestion I got into using Markdown, but switched back to coding HTML because Wordpress wasn't converting the Markdown. I assumed there was a plugin that I was too lazy to install, but was also under the impression that the blogging bundle performed a conversion before posting. I never bothered to look into it, but if someone has an easy answer, I'm all ears.

No the blogging bundle does not do any conversion, and nor should it. The whole point is that you want the posts to be stored in the database in the format you would like to edit them later in, namely Markdown, or Textile. If the bundle converted to HTML before sending across, then if you later wanted to edit the post you would be stuck with editing the HTML.
It is then a question of setting up your blog to use an appropriate plugin (or perhaps just to switch some setting somewhere). The particulars depend on the blogging system used, but I would bet searching the corresponding online help files should lead to a simple solution.

I'm also using WordPress and I installed the following [Plugin][1] in WordPress which allows me to write blogs in markdown. Just drop the downloaded php file in (blog-path)/wp-content/plugins/ and activate it in the administration panel. Hope this helps. Simon

The blogging bundle sends the Markdown text as-is. It's up to your blog software to do the conversion.
I don't use Wordpress, but a quick search found PHP Markdown.
http://www.michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/
PHP Markdown is already bundled with WordPress. [...] Activate the plugin with the administrative interface of WordPress. In the “Plugins” section you will now find Markdown. To activate the plugin, click on the “Activate” button on the same line than Markdown. Your entries will now be formatted by PHP Markdown.
