Mac OS X: Blogging with MarsEdit

I learned a few things from the Webdesigner Depot post How to Blog Effectively. On my PCs, I often use Windows Live Writer or the WordPress admin pages to write and publish posts.

I had been looking for a stable, easy-to-use desktop blog editor for my Macs. I finally found one I like.

MarsEdit

Browser-based interfaces are slow, clumsy, and require you to be connected to the internet just to use them. Browsers are perfect for reading web content, but not so great for creating it.

If you're serious about your blog, you need a desktop blog editor. If you're lucky enough to have a Mac, nothing is more powerful or more elegant than MarsEdit.

• Rich And HTML Text Editing
• Wildly Compatible
• Perfect Previews
• Media At Your Fingertips
• Easy File Uploads
• Re-Blog It!
• Offline Freedom

The interface

The interface is clean and quick. Most importantly for me, I can paste images and screenshots directly into the MarsEdit window.
