Fellow textmaters,
I have been playing with the blogging bundle now for quite some time and would love to see the following additions:
(I currently am at SVN revision 6430, my blogs are running Wordpress)
1. As I am writing un multiple blogs, I would really appreciate if e.g. the category tab trigger would read my current post to see if there is already a selection of blogs instead of asking me which blog to post to, at the very least use a popup instead of the dialog (as is done with the blog tab trigger)
2. Same goes for selecting categories… would there be a way to cache the list of categories, maybe?
3. Is there a way to post drafts? Or, if not, is it possible to post at future dates, so I can prepare and upload my next few posts without needing to do copy/paste?
4. Is the common "linking" code progressing? e.g. if you insert a link to a recent blog post (btw a great addition!) it inserts a HTML link, but I am writing in markdown – so it is quite a pain in my eyes to see the full clutter of <a> tags…
5. I very much love the "insert google lucky hit" functionality!
6. Image upload is soo cool!
Thanks again to all who are contributing to all those cool bundles!

I've been working on this but it's got a lot of complications. You're not the first to ask for this though. I could easily turn the list of blogs into a plust and then just do a tm_dialog menu popup. I'll see what I can whip up, as that would be, in my opinion, a valuable and necessary update.
- Same goes for selecting categories… would there be a way to
cache the list of categories, maybe?
It could be done, but I'm not sure how it would check for changes without taking just as long. If you don't need to use the dialog, you always have the option of just using a snippet with a different tab trigger... Do you have any thoughts on how the caching mechanism might work?
- Is there a way to post drafts? Or, if not, is it possible to
post at future dates, so I can prepare and upload my next few posts without needing to do copy/paste?
Just add Status: Draft to the headers.
- Is the common "linking" code progressing? e.g. if you insert a
link to a recent blog post (btw a great addition!) it inserts a HTML link, but I am writing in markdown – so it is quite a pain in my eyes to see the full clutter of <a> tags…
Allan never got back to us on that. I'm kind of waiting to hear.

With a little Rmagick magic, you can generate thumbnails and automatically link them as well... takes some hackery though.
Thanks again to all who are contributing to all those cool bundles!

This was the abstraction layer I wanted to create, so that we could re-use the same logic for the various link-creating commands in Markdown, Textile, HTML, etc.?
Yes, and it would be really great for a lot of the bundle commands I'm working on right now... not sure how you wanted to go about doing it, though.
Welcome back ;-).
