If you couldn't find ecto/MarsEdit work without a problem using  
metaWeblog API,the chances are slim that TextMate's Blogging Bundle  
works.

Were you able to post with ecto/MarsEdit using metaWeblog API? It  
seems that you couldn't get categories with metaWeblog API, which  
makes me think TypePad API works better.

<http://www.typepad.com/t/rsd/105091> shows your URL endpoint, Blog ID.

Also Blogging Bundle Help mentions TM_BLOG_MODE? Have you tried  
tweaking?

Most of blog software like WordPress and Drupal say they support X  
api, but the support is not always perfect. The specs of APIs  
themselves seem to have problems. Even dediccated software like ecto  
and MarsEdit don't always work perfectly.
