Tumble for vim ============== This script adds to vim the ability to send text entries to the tumblr.com blogging platform. It supports markdown formatting, and is able to edit and delete previous entries. In order to work, the variables tumblr_email tumblr_password tumblr_tumblelog must be set. They are evaluated on every command, so you can change them on the fly in case you need to switch to another blog. tumble.vim adds three commands to Vim: :Tumble :TumbleLink :ListTumbles The syntax for :Tumble is :[range]Tumble [draft|publish] By default, it posts the entire current buffer to tumblr.com, but a range can be supplied if that isn't desired. For example, ":,Tumble" would post the current selection. Unless 'draft' (sans ') is given as an argument, it publishes the post immediately. The default behaviour is equivalent to ":Tumble publish". Any other argument could make the posting to fail. tumble.vim doesn't have safety measures against that currently. Whenever it can, tumble.vim tries to be smart. If it finds a first level setext style markdown title in the first lines of the buffer or range, it detects it as a title. If the title is found to be the same as the one from an earlier post, it overwrites it, instead of sending a new post. The syntax for :TumbleLink is :[range]TumbleLink It assumes the [range] is formatted thus: line 1 URL 2 NAME 3... DESCRIPTION NAME and DESCRIPTION are optional, but NAME should always be on line 2 (so if you don't want to give a name to the link, you should keep this line blank). The syntax for :ListTumbles is :ListTumbles draft|published It prints a list of your published or drafting posts in the current buffer. If you press <enter> over a post line, tumble.vim will try to fetch the post and load it for editing. If you press <delete>, it will delete the post. The original version was based on Travis Jeffery's tumblr.vim (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2329), and the current version contains some ideas from it.

install details

open the .vba file in vim and source it. You must set the following variable (change as needed) let tumblr_email = 'foo@bar.com let tumblr_password = 'password' let tumblr_tumblelog = 'myblog.tumblr.com' You can change those on the run, so you can post to several blogs in the same session.
