I have just downloaded Mars Edit to try it out as an offline Blog Editor.

I’m not inspired by the text editor built in to WordPress so I started to look for an alternative. I know Word 2007 for Windows has a blog function and having recently installed Office 2008 for the Mac I assumed it too would do the job. Sadly no such function. It doesn’t make sense does it?

I discovered this through a post on the Officeformac forum on the Microsoft Mactopia site. Usefully Daiya Mitchell replied to suggest two possible solutions. One of them Mars Edit.

The review that clinched it was to see Derrick Story’s recommendation “MarsEdit is a joy to use.” I rate Derrick’s judgement and regularly read his stuff on his “TheDigitalStory blog“.

So here it is – my first post from another planet so to speak.
