Testing MarsEdit 1.0

So the Mac blogs are abuzz about a new application for Mac bloggers called MarsEdit. I was intrigued enough to download it and give its trial run a spin, and so this is my first test post using it. I’ll update, edit and otherwise mess with this posting to see how well MarsEdit works with my MT based blogs, and I’ll report my findings to you here. Is it good enough to buy? Stay tuned…

So, that post went up, but I didn’t see the opportunity to put it in a category. These later edits are being done via MT as usual. But I’ll press on and save reading any manuals for later 🙂

Aha… so when I click the ‘Refresh’ button on MarsEdit, it grabbed the 10 most recent posts to my blog, along with their categories. So this edit, is again being done in MarsEdit rather than MT. The research continues…

UPDATE: How cool is that? A comment from the programmer! Thanks for the help Brent. So here’s another test… if I edit an existing post using MarsEdit, will the comments survive the update? Here we go to find out… yup, they sure do. Good to know 🙂

UPDATE: OK, so when my demo period ended, MarsEdit passed the ultimate software test. I just missed it too much not to buy it, so I did. Great stuff Brent, keep it up!
