I just realized that TextMate includes a bundled command to preview Markdown-formatted text. Since I'm using the Markdown option for formatting in Typo, that means I can use TextMate as my blogging tool. I just save a file named post.markdown to get TextMate to notice that it's in Markdown format. Then the key combo CMD-CTRL-OPT-P generates a preview of the formatted output. Copy and paste into Typo's article creation form and I'm done!
So cool!

I'm Josh Susser, and this is my geek blog. It's mainly about Ruby on Rails programming, but other stuff will creep in from time to time. I've been a professional programmer for over 20 years (with time off for good behavior). I also fancy myself something of a writer, thus the blog is a good outlet for two of the things that keep me from getting enough sleep.
I'm an organizer of the Golden Gate Ruby Conference (gogaruco), a regular panelist on the Ruby Rogues podcast, and do a lot of yoga when I'm not working on my startup.

You might want to checkout the new Blogging bundle, which features XML-RPC client support (written in Ruby!) for direct posting to most popular blog engines.
Allan mentioned a screencast demonstrating its usage soon.
