Mini Review: MarsEdit

For those of you who are into blogging as a “profession” or something more than a hobby, blogging clients are the absolute way to go. On the road? Write a post and submit it for later when you’re back online. No internet connection? Same there. Tired of WordPress’ visual editor? Use a visual client. Well, OS X has an absolutely great client by Red Sweater Software called MarsEdit.

MarsEdit is really really easy to use. Type in your site’s address and if you use a common blogging platform/CMS, it will automatically recognize it and all you have to do is input your username and password and you are able to start posting. Simple as that. You have to use straight HTML code, but there is a preview function to see what your post will look like formatted.

MarsEdit 2 costs $29.95 for a full version license and while it may seem a bit expensive for a blogging client, it’s a huge headache reducer and can save you lots of lost brain cells.
