![]() I’m an ex-Userspace user, and I’ve become a convert.īrent Simmons, who is exactly half of Ranchero, recently laid out what he did when he started writing MarsEdit. I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but so far, MarsEdit is the best of the breed-all two clients that are still under development. ![]() That just one more thing is MarsEdit, an editing application for weblogs, and a could-be iPod-like “just one more thing.” (In technical terms, MarsEdit is a Blogger XML-RPC API client.) Weblog editors are the answer to the question, “Do I really have to write posts in my Web browser?” They vary greatly in interface, from the now-defunct Userspace to Ecto, but all seem to share the same basic features: post to almost any weblog system with XML-RPC support, preview an entry, avoid writing HTML, upload files, and integrate with Web browsers and RSS readers, so you can easily blog an RSS item. In retrospect, it’s as if I left Steve Jobs’ 2001 Macworld New York keynote speech right before “Oh, and just one more thing….” Somehow, in the days immediately following the release of a public beta for NetNewsWire (ATPM review), Ranchero Software’s RSS reader ( background here), I missed out on another part of the announcement. ![]() Requirements: Mac OS X 10.3, and an XML-RPC API-compatible weblog (Blogger, Blosxom, LiveJournal, Movable Type, Radio, TypePad, WordPress, etc.) ![]() Price: $25, $40 with NetNewsWire 2.0 beta, free with registered NetNewsWire 1.x ![]()
