Now that I’ve got a new blog engine with more support, I thought I’d try out some swanky new software that works with it. MarsEdit by Ranchero Software is what’s called a weblog editor, a stand-alone desktop application for posting to weblogs. It’s a lot like an e-mail application or a Usenet news reader, but you’re posting to a blog service instead.

I guess the theory being it’s easier/more comfortable (arguably more natural?) for people to post using an app with a familiar GUI than using a form in a Web page. That remains to be seen, and I won’t know until I see my post frequency increase or plateau.

As for how well it works? Well, that depends. Have you just been reading this?

Update: I should also point out that I used it with Mac OS X 10.2.8, and it seems to work fine. However, I have only used the basic features.
