I finally spent the money and got myself a copy of Mars Edit. I had downloaded a trial version a while ago and I really liked the way it worked and how easy it was to use. The trial version ran out about 2 months ago but I have been missing it for quite a while now. So today I bought myself a copy and I am using it to write this post.

It works with various weblog systems: Blosxom, Conversant, Manila, Movable Type, Radio UserLand, TypePad, WordPress, and others. It is software for the MAC as far as I can tell. You can change the transparency of the posting window, which is pretty cool, Image and file uploading, View thumbnails of previous uploads, Preview templates, so you can see what a post will look like on your weblog, Spell checking, Add and edit Technorati tags, Sends update notices—“pings” to blo.gs, Technorati, and Weblogs.com (You can add more to the list if you want or just use Ping O Matic to ping blog sharing sites), Supports categories and other options, Supports TypePad/Movable-Type extended, excerpt, keywords, and trackbacks, Supports titles for Blogger weblogs (supports Blogger’s Atom weblog editing API), Customizable warnings before posting, so you don’t accidentally send a post before it’s ready. So it is very feature full. It cost $25 and I think it is worth it, really. It makes posting so much easier.

So, download the trial version and see if you like it as much as I do. I am sure you won't be disappointed.
