Here is a little application I think a few people will enjoy. This is MarsEdit, it’s an application for posting to your blog with out using your browser. I use this every day, and have found it to be an awesome way to post. There are a ton of features with Web2.0 in mind. There are also a lot of customization options for those who are willing to take the time.

I must say though, if you are not familiar with looking at html you probably wont like this. All links and images are in html, only line breaks are hidden. (they are converted on upload)

What makes this program worth it?

Writing off line… You may be one of those people that likes to write your posts in advance or perhaps you always have a couple of posts you’re constantly trying to rewrite. I like that I don’t have to log-in to review something I’m working on. Not only that but I like bypassing the editor and typing everything myself. (course I’ve set up a bunch of quick keys for most of my styling)

Write to Multiple Blogs… Maybe you’re a freak and you write to a couple of different blogs.

Control… I’m a control freak when it comes to my styles and fonts and everything like that. Most Blog platforms will give a good amount of options but they just don’t give you everything. Also, there is bound to be a screw up here and there that will strip out all your styles, and eventually something comes up missing on your post when you publish it. Then it turns into that vicious cycle of, “what the heck!!!???”

I never have to worry about that, everything I write goes to my blog and there isn’t any amount of code missing, because some filter doesn’t like what I wrote.

Conclusion… Basically if you’re hosting your blog, and your comfortable with looking at and typing HTML this program will interest you.
