We’re a little remiss in notifying you about the excellent version 2.1 update to MacUser’s blogging client of choice, Mars Edit. You’ll have to excuse us: the reason we’ve been so cavalier about it, is that some of us have been using the beta versions for a while, and have gotten used to all the spifftastic features that Red Sweater mastermind (and Friend of the Blog) Daniel Jalkut has packed into the latest release.
Besides the slick new tokenized tag system (think of Mail.app’s auto-completing addresses and you’ll get the idea), Daniel’s also revamped the preview window so that it’s far speedier and more usable, added the ability to search your posts and drafts, and folded in support for putting drafts on the server (he’s even come up with a workaround for MacUser’s Movable Type platform, which hates drafts—I think they used to go out or something).
We cannot speak highly enough of MarsEdit—really, we keep piling on superlatives, and nobody has yet disproved a single one. It’s one of my indispensable applications, having earned a permanent place in my Dock, and I use it every single day. What higher praise could there be?
