And because of that:

Here you have it, the first [screencast to demonstrate HTML editing] [1] (8 MB).

It’s a bit short in content as it only shows how to create HTML tags (and a bit of multi-line editing towards the end), but at seven and a half minute, I figured it was best to keep it like that, and I guess tag creation is the number one productivity gain for HTML writers.

The things demonstrated are (from the HTML bundle):

* Insert Open/Close Tag (With Current Word) * per tag snippets * Wrap Selection in Open/Close Tag * Wrap Each Selected Line in Open/Close Tag * Insert Closing Tag

And my sidestepping show how to re-indent, fold, and edit a bunch of list items, including how to edit the end of each line, when they have variable lengths, using Edit Each Line in Selection.

Some people reported problems (as bad as kernel panics) with the screencast, so I have re-encoded it with (hopefully) more “standard” encoding parameters.

So much for spending two hours finding the ideal compression parameters ;)

The “official” screencasts can all be seen via this feed: pcast:http://macromates.com/textmate/screencast.rss

There’s sort of a convention about adding a comment about 3rd party screencasts to my initial blog entry: http://macromates.com/blog/ archives/2005/12/16/screencast/ (this is linked from the sidebar at http://macromates.com/)

But I’ve also wanted to make a more official page. We could just set aside a wiki page, that would allow others to add their screencast, OTOH personally I am living the DRY life, so already having my screencasts in the feed, I want a generated HTML front-end, rather than have to replicate the info elsewhere.

Currently the official feed is a mixed feed, i.e. incorporating both stuff from me and submitted by users.

I could do one solely for user screencasts though.

I'm going to bump up my comment back in here [which fell by the way- side] about the suggestion for a section of the website/somewhere to serve as a TextMate Bundle Incubator/repository for information related to different bundles .. like a gforge (or, more simply like an adium xtras section) dedicated to each bundles/theme where relevant posts, suggestions, tips, screencasts, updates, etc. can be kept in a central place.

It's great that different people make contributions and post them on their website and what not for people to check out, but by the fact that it gets spread out over n-many different places, it will get lost and probably not used as much as it could be.

just a suggestion. -steve

You made me look up DRY ;). But as I am a keen user of RSS-feeds I believe anything that does not have one is not an option… Is there not a way for you to include 3rd party screencasts into your stream (or at least into a 3rd party screencast stream?). Another alternative would be a del.icio.us RSS feed of all textmate screencasts.

What we would need is a way to include other feeds in a feed, just like svsn can include external svn repositories…

I do think it is cool for people to host their own stuff -- but if we could have some way of feeding everyone's contribution into one centzral place as well. Ben Hammersley's Lazyweb would be useful from a technical standpoint: just send a trackback ping from your blog post to this central repository and it gets added to the stream. Is there some other way of integrating other people's blog posts into one central blog?

Couln't we use the existing Wiki instead? Maybe do a wiki parser that'll work in the same way as the Rails-plugin system works.
