[TxMt] help: textmate, wordpress, and markdown

[Jason Miller]

I need a bit of help.

I'm trying to use Textmate's blogging bundle to streaming posting to a wordpress blog.  I've read Brett Terpstra's blog on the topic, and I'm trying to use his approach.  But I'm encountering problems.

(1)  Images won't display in the WP post.  I must upload them by hand to the Media folder, and code the path to the image by hand.

(2)  Code blocks don't render correctly.   Instead of rending in a 'verbatim' style, they render in a way that ignores line breaks.

I'm not doing anything fancy with my markdown.  But I have little experience with WP.  (I can't, for example, find the wp-contents folder to see if I can change the write permissions.)

Of course, I've googled to see if this is a common problem, but I can't find any fixes.

I would be very thankful if anyone could point me to material, share their experience, or otherwise help point me in a direction that allows me to continue to use Textmate's blogging bundle to post info to my WP-site.

Thanks in advance for whatever people can share.

Jason
