It might be of interest that I’m doing this in MarsEdit after a quick run-through of both MarsEdit and Ecto applications. I hope to have a full blog post.
As I was in the shower, I realized how meta all of this became again. I blogged on how I updated WordPress, my blogging software of choice. I am now blogging on the current status of how I’m blogging. I will be blogging on blogging applications for the mac.
I took a screen shot and annotated it to show you how crazy it’s becoming. You see how the coding is off to the side, while the blogging insanity continues into the wee hours of the next morning?
This is halfway a test of MarsEdit and halfway an actual post.
Sidenote: After opening this post (which was written in MarsEdit) in Ecto, Ecto has informed me of the dirty HTML MarsEdit was outputting. What is the deal with that?
Hi Josh – I'm glad to see you're giving such a thorough test of MarsEdit.
But you can also edit any of the built-in markup macros to use the HTML of your own preference.
I'm curious which HTML in particular ecto deemed dirty? It might be a matter of taste
I personally am not sure about the HTML, it's just that when I opened the post in Ecto, Ecto itself complained about the HTML. It's not happening anymore, so I can't test it again, though.
I'm leaning more and more towards MarsEdit. I just hope there was better image-related features. I'll write on that later.
There is a lot of room for improvement with the image handling. Can't make any specific promises on timing but it's something I want to improve soon.
