A quick recommendation to Mac bloggers. This post was created using MarsEdit by Red Sweater Software and I like it! I have used others in the past but never felt fully compatible.
MarsEdit, which used to be owned by Ranchero Software, was recently taken over by Red Sweater and I am surprised! Initially I thought maybe the transfer was a sign of its death - however MarsEdit has grown up quite a bit since I last demoed it. It has a clean and uncluttered interface and lets you effortlessly control the major aspects of your blog post. Most importantly it gives a great preview of your post in real time as you type - something I have been dying for. Wordpress’ rich text editor is horrible on the Mac and getting a preview takes a lot of clicks - MarsEdit makes it super easy.
The image upload feature is nice but could use the ability to resize and crop images - but I shouldn’t complain a little work with iPhoto is the answer. It does allow drag and drop and thats nice. You can also include other media and integrate with Flickr.
You can grab a 30 day trial at www.red-sweater.com/marsedit/. That reminds me, I need to register my copy and cough up my 30 bucks.
