One thing I’ve learned is that most good developers/designers strive for a streamlined, cohesive work-flow.
Being a fan of TextMate, I feel more comfortable composing blog posts in my native environment.
If you’re in the same boat, try out the Blogging TextMate Bundle which supports most major blogging platforms via XML-RPC.
I you have errors fetching blog posts then be sure to remove any posts that are marked as Draft. Alternatively, you can simply include Status: draft at the top of your template in TextMate.
