MarsEdit blogging software

Skip this post if you don’t have your own blog.

Every year or so I experiment with offline blogging software, usually MarsEdit, as that seems to be the most popular on the Mac platform ($40). (The main competitor, Ecto, is only $20.)

There is a bit of a learning curve in using MarsEdit. But I think I’m willing to spend the time to learn it. Finally.

Advantages:

• it’s faster to work offline

live preview while you edit

• you can set up a “template” to duplicate the look and feel of your actual blog

Problems:

• no option to open links in a new window

• the resulting HTML text is more complex, more difficult to go back and edit

Leave a comment if you’ve a better solution to write blog posts offline. This post was written with MarsEdit. See any problem with it?
