I finally took the plunge after two 30 day trials (I tired it once a couple years ago, and then for the last couple of weeks) I finally decided to take the plunge and purchase it.
I have no complaints so far, the program makes it very easy to keep all my ideas and draft blog posts ready to go at a moment’s notice. Sure it has a lack of WYSIWYG when typing, but the preview window does a great job of giving a pretty darn accurate version of what the post will look like on the blog (especially if I took the time to tell it what the real blog CSS code is).
The application is lightweight which is absolutely necessary on my aging Powerbook G4, and for the fact that I keep a million and a half programs open at any given time. It’s very quick loading and ready to go whenever I need it.
I suppose the purchase stemmed from me needing a more efficient way to blog, and to make sure that I blog almost every day. One value that i want my loyal readers (YOU!) to have is a reliable posting schedule. I typically write my posts a day or two ahead of time, just to give me time to think about and edit them before they go live and this makes that work flow very easy to follow.
If you run a Mac and have a blog (or contribute to a ton of blogs like me) give MarsEdit a try and let me know what you think in the comments.
