MacJournal
Jul 18 2008
****.

JEVON  I have been using MacJournal for almost one year. I started on MacJournal 4 and have just upgraded to MacJournal 5. Primarily I use MacJournal to create blog posts offline prior to uploading them and also enjoy having on my computer a list of entries that I have created.

I like the feel and flow of MacJournal 5 and find it far easier to use than its predecessor. The WYSIWYG aspects are strong; in that, how I format my entry in MacJournal translate nicely to html. Also the inclusion of attachments works very well.

There are some features that I would like to see to make my experience complete however.

Blogging Tags:

I use WordPress for my blogging software and with this I get the capacity to use a 'More' tag. This tag will allow me to give a longer post a succinct overview and then a link should a viewer wish to see all of the post. With this my main page doesn't get too cluttered and I control the layout better. However MacJournal does not read this tag and so all I get in MacJournal is the first part of the post, but nothing else. I would like to see all of the post with a tag or graphic indicating the 'More' tag.

Podcasting:

I also podcast with my blog. I use Logic to create my podcasts and then upload the mp3 to my server (this is my preference). When I create my podcast post I just include the mp3 file as part of it. Thanks to a plug-in my podcast appears in a player in my blog post where I choose. However MacJournal does not retrieve this either. I have not explored at this point how I might podcast using MacJournal so I'm unsure of how I could change my process around this, but It would be nice if MacJournal treated this mp3 file the same way it treats the images I've included in my blog.

Summary:

Over all I'm very happy with MacJournal and look forward to future version. It is an application that I would be hard pressed to do with out now that I've used it. Thanks very much to the developers of this application. Please keep it up.
