Mars Edit

I have recently made my venture into the blogging world. I have been submitting my first posts through the web interface. I have decide to try and use an off-line editor. This post is really simple test post using the Mars edit program.

Setting up Mars Edit was quite simple. A few clicks through the settings and everything is up and working. The software downloaded my exist posts so I can edit them. The program works just like the rest of the Mac programs do with spell check.

I was hoping to see more advanced editing features. Lists are noticeably absent. The preview option also leaves something to be desired. Maybe I am missing something, but it pretty much looks like the typing window.

I just submitted the first post and paragraph breaks are missing. Please don't tell me I have to manually add them in.

Looks like the paragraph tags have to be added in. That will probably be a deal breaker for me! Will continue to look for other off line editors.

It looks like Mars Edit has the ability to work with external editors. Not sure I want to install two programs to edit my blog off line.
