It did take me some time to find the menu item for creating a new page (seriously why isn’t it an option when you create a new post to just make it a page instead?) but it’s there down at the bottom of the main MarsEdit window. It even saves them in the local draft on edit so you can make some changes on a few pages then publish them all at once (or nearly at once since it’s one after the other as fast as you can click). MarsEdit lets you edit not only local documents but also the post and pages on your live site. I’ll admit I’ve only tried it on domain mapped Multsite, so let me know if it’s any different for installs that are sub-directory or sub-domain. MarsEdit does both with no extra configuration needed for Multisite installs. My fulltime job is to design and build WordPress sites so of course I run my blogs on WP and have to have a desktop editor that works with both WordPress and WordPress Multisite. No clutter just your text black on a white background. MarsEdit has an beautiful preview window. When I’m doing the final read of a post I do like to just read it as the user would see the text.

I’m also picky about what my code looks like (I am a programmer) so having direct control over it is awesome. I write HTML all day so I don’t have any trouble reading or writing it. One of the features I love about MarsEdit is that it lets you pick if you write in HTML mode or WYSIWYG mode. Then I found/remembered MarsEdit and figured I’d give it a try. Also since I never found the blogging bundles and set them up I always had to do a bunch of cut/paste to get the article onto the site. So if TextMate was the cats ass why did I switch to a blogging specific software? I often found that with TextMate I’d start thinking about some of my development work and then start getting distracted by coding, when I should be blogging. I typically write my blog posts in HTML anyway so why would I need some other fancy blogging client? At the time TextMate was simple and I already owned a copy it. The WhyĪs I said in my previous run down of my OSX Setup, I used to write all my blog posts in TextMate.

Since I started using MarsEdit I’ve been doing a bit better and I figured I’d review the software and tell you why it’s helping me. The original plan was to have something out each Tuesday but life, stuff, StarCraft II, seem to get the way. Let’s face it many of us plan to blog way more than we do, at the very least it applies to me and this blog (well me and all the blogs I have).
