WHAT'S NEW
Version 2.2:

Generic AtomPub Support

AtomPub is a new specification for communication between a blog and a remote editor such as MarsEdit. To use MarsEdit with your AtomPub-compatible blog, select "Other AtomPub Compatible" from the configuration popup in your weblog settings, and enter the service document URL in the RPC URL field.

Customizable Image Markup

Now you can use MarsEdit's powerful markup macros in the media window. In addition to the built-in macros for image alignment, you can add your own to finely tune the markup that is used when inserting images or other files.

Performance Boost

Significant speed improvements to launch time and sorting the table of weblog entries.

And More...

  • Support for removing unwanted items from the media catalog.
  • New post table columns for viewing Tags or Post ID.
  • A date editor pull down for easily selecting today's date.
  • Improved MIME type generation for uploaded files.
  • Blosxom now uses the "Slug" field to specify the file name.

REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

THEODORE LEE  I've used all the major tools for publishing to my WP blog - ecto, Flock, and of course, the WP web based interface - and none of them compare in style, ease of use and simplicity to MarsEdit. MarsEdit is super simple to use, easy to configure, and powerful enough to handle just about every blogging task you can think of. The added imports from Flickr in v. 2 are extremely welcome.

Finally, Daniel Jalkut, the dev, is super responsive. I had an issue months back with a new build, and he was able to diagnose the problem inside of an hour. Try getting that level of care/involvement from the big guys. Support high quality indie grown software and try MarsEdit if you do any blogging and use a Mac.  (Version 2.0)

EL_GUAPO  Lacks some simple features, doesn't refresh previews very well but it's strongest feature is its simplicity in design and function.

When NewsGator bought Rancharo development was promised to continue and a point release was made. That was almost a year ago and no news of any development has come across since. I'm afraid this app is dead which is a terrible shame as with a little work, this has real potential.

As it is, the web-ui for Wordpress has surpassed what MarsEdit can do making this tool antiquated.  (Version 1.1.2)
