About MarsEdit 3
Browser-based interfaces are slow, clumsy, and require you to be online just to use them. Browsers are perfect for reading web content, but not ideal for creating it. If you're serious about writing for the web, you need a desktop blog editor. If you're lucky enough to have a Mac, nothing is more powerful, or more elegant than MarsEdit. MarsEdit's editor switches easily from Plain to Rich Text, so you can work in whichever format you prefer. Love Markdown? MarsEdit can preview it and convert it to HTML if needed. Preview your posts as you write them, just as they'll appear when published on the web. A baseline template is easily created and can be fine-tuned by hand if desired. MarsEdit knows about featured images, post formats, and multiple authors. It even supports adding custom fields that appear right in the post editor window. Native filters for Markdown, MultiMarkdown and Convert Line Breaks run at lightning speed, converting your writing on the fly as you type.
