Anybody here interested in blogging to WordPress using TextMate and a GUI (rather than the blogging bundle)?
I've got an alpha-quality TM plugin called BlogMate worked up... and could use some testers.
The BlogMate plugin is kinda like MarsEdit -- only as a floating palette for TextMate. (Window -> Show BlogMate Palette)
Much like MarsEdit, you can set up multiple blogs and create and edit posts. Unlike MarsEdit, its feature set is quite limited at the moment. But you can manage post categories and published/private status already.
For now the plugin uses the MetaWeblog API to talk to your blog. Theoretically, this should work with any metaweblog-capable blog, but I've only tried it with Wordpress (cuz that's what I use). I have absolutely no idea what other blog types use metaweblog... i didn't even know what metaweblog was until thursday when i started this nonsense.
Once it's solid enough for release, I'll do a public beta (hopefully very soon... i'm very impatient). After that, the plugin will continue to be free as in beer.
Anyhow... if you're interested, respond in one way or another.
thanks!

To those who responded, Thanks! A link is on it's way soon.
In the meantime, I placed a short screen cast of BlogMate on YouTube +my blog... unfortunately, I didn't realize how much you tube optimizes their video files... kinda hard to see what's going on. I think I'll try again with higher res:
