Mars Edit: Just stay on earth

I’ve been looking for some good blogging software lately, I tried the flock blogger and loved it, but to be honest the browser is unstable, so I dumped it. There just doesn’t seem to be a good one out there for mac. There’s journaler but to me the blogging in that seems like an afterthought, it doesn’t really work with most of journalers awesome features. There’s ecto but that’s not even UB yet, although they are working to fix that.

But, there’s one more thing. The only solution that is at all viable … and it’s not worth the $30: Mars Edit. If this program where free I might use it, but $30? No way. It’s a nice little app that does what it does well but it’s features are lacking and it’s interface is ugly. The biggest oversight/problem with Mars Edit is it’s lack of wysiwyg editing, I mean, why else would I get a blogging program? There aren’t even buttons that make text bold, italic, etc, you have to go into a menu to do that. There is some syntax shading but that is also lacking.

The interface isn’t even cocoa looking. It’s got the old striped menu bars. Nothing fancy here, just a plain old aqua interface. In there defense it is well laid out and easy to use, it just doesn’t look that great. It’s easy to set up multiple blogs and post to any one of them, however you can not post to multiple blogs. Overall, not very pretty, but It is functional.

In the end, i’m gonna keep using the normal WP editor. I was hoping Mars Edit would look nice, work well, and remind me to blog every day, those are my 3 criteria for blogging software. It has the working well part down, well, for what it does. So my advice, don’t go to mars to edit, just stay at the word press.

I use MarsEdit myself, and I find it to be beautiful. Maybe it’s because I use Uno, so everything’s unified. The only problem I have with it is that you can’t add new categories, which is a bitch. I have to go to WP and edit it myself.
