MarsEdit 2: A Blogging Revolution

1571 days ago in Articles, Essential Apps, Reviews by Brent | 5 Comments

Okay… This is another one of those “I should have known about this already” posts, but now is better than never, right? MarsEdit is an offline blogging tool that really accomplish what it sets out to do. I have tried so many different apps that tout their ease and grace and yet so many times find myself very shortly going back to the basics because it was ultimately easier for me to stick with the default. This time, it’s way different. MarsEdit is my revolution! (or something like that)

Plainly said, MarsEdit is a flat-out awesome way to post to your blog. (Of course I created this post in MarsEdit) There are just so many features and reasons to use it, I don’t know where to start so I’ll just link to Shawn’s perfect post and not even try.

MarsEdit FTW!

How does it compare to textmate’s built in blogging bundle?

You know, I’m not sure really as I haven’t used the Textmate Blogging bundle much. I think it’s in a lot of ways the same, but I do like the fact that it pulls latest posts into a list for editing as well as the nifty live preview window. I have customized mine to look exactly like an iBAM post so I know what it will look like before I post. Saves me from the “Post/View/Oops/Edit/Save/Repeat” process I do VERY OFTEN when I’m posting. I think it’s a little more window driven than TextMate’s process.

MarsEdit 2 really looks good – but the question I have is, how does it compare to Journler? Been using it for awhile and I really like it.

On another note – is there any really great iphone blogging software? Now that would be something I could really use:)

I have never used Journaler, I’ll have to give it a try now for sure. (already downloading it now)

As for iPhone and WP. I use the wPhone Admin plugin and really like it. Is that what you’re looking for?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Journaler doesn’t tie to blogs for blog maintenance does it? Maybe I’m missing it?
