Mac app: Marsedit

I’m mac fan. I admit it. I love how things work on a mac. I like how simple it is to do what I want to do and how simple it is to understand. Another thing I love are all the Mac applications that are around. The Mac developer community is a large one and I love the work that they do. So I’ve decided to start a blog section to showcase some of my favorite mac applications.

MarsEdit



On my first attempt to write a blog I went with using the blogger back-end for creating and managing the blog. Not a terrible experience but I found that organizing my ideas was a bit of a hassle. So when I returned to blogging later on I decided to see if there was any piece of software that would help me. After trying several I ended up with MarsEdit.

I loved that because it wasn’t WYSIWYG it forced me learn a bit of HTML and to think about the code that needs to be used to manage images. Another of the selling points was its preview option After tweaking the blogger template and putting it on MarsEdit I was able to see clearly how the layout of the post would look like before posting it on the blog.

However I would say that the main advantage to using MarsEdit over the Blogger back-end is managing your posts without having to reload thae page ever time you want to change or create new posts. I also find that using the preview option in MarsEdit is more accurate than the one Blogger has.

If anyone has tried any other Mac blog editor out there they want to recommend, I would love to hear about them.
