MarsEdit Blog Editor: Tagging WordPress, Movable Type

MarsEdit, the pop­u­lar desk­top blog editor for the Mac plat­form has been updated to ver­sion 2.1. The new ver­sion brings an assort­ment of new fea­tures, includ­ing enhanced web pre­views, the abil­ity to save drafts to the server, and instant searches for drafts and entries.

Per­haps the most inter­est­ing upgrade is the new inte­grated tag sup­port. For Word­Press and Mov­able Type blogs, it’s now pos­si­ble to set tags for a post using the inte­grated tag bar. The assigned tags are also stored and can be used on later posts as needed.

Other fea­tures in MarsEdit include: Flickr inte­gra­tion, markup macros, an inte­grated media man­ager, and a simple user interface.

MarsEdit costs US$ 29.95 and can be found at “MarsEdit, Red Sweater Software.”

Other Mac soft­ware allow­ing desk­top edit­ing of blogs:

“MacJour­nal”

“ecto”

“Text­Mate”

Now, if the devel­op­ers could find a way to set Custom Fields for Word­Press posts, I could dis­pense with the web browser. Until then, it’s still nec­es­sary to log into Word­Press to finish posting.
