As is well documented, I am not very good at keeping up with the whole blog thing. This morning I starting wondering if it had to do with the extra baggage of signing into WordPress’ admin section. So I’m trying out a blogging program–in this case, MarsEdit. We’ll see how it goes.
So far, I like MarsEdit’s straightforward interface–no WYSIWIG, just content and code (it does have a basic preview mode). That may be a negative for people who don’t want to look at HTML in their posts, but so far it seems like I get cleaner code from this than I do with WordPress’ built-in editor. I also like how easy it is to upload media. Also, I was just about to report that a lack of support for tags was a minus, but then I found how to include the Tags field.
I’m hoping that having the editor just a docked icon away will help me keep this a bit more current, and that when the trial period is up I’ve decided that MarsEdit is indeed worth 30 bucks.
