MarsEdit blogging software changes hands
Macworld – Feb 22, 2007
?Users are going to see a a lot more development activity Brent and NewsGator are happy to see the application in my capable hands and I get the satisfaction of steering the future of one of my favorite applications. ?MarsEdit was originally released as a free add-on for registered NetNewsWire users. The software enables Mac users to post to blogs that use many common software back-ends to operate ? everything from Blogger Blogware and Blosxom to Movable Type TypePad and WordPress. The software includes features to automate ?pinging? to blog aggregation sites and adding Technorati tags adding images in files and more. Red Sweater Software?s other products include FlexTime an activity timer; FastScripts which lets you access AppleScripts by using keyboard shortcuts or a menu bar; and Clarion which trains you to recognize music intervals. Jalkut has recently blogged about his development of a Cocoa to Java application conversion he?s been working on and wants to make it clear that MarsEdit is not that application. ?MarsEdit is completely bjective-C based from the get-go and I couldn?t be happier about that? he said.
MarsEdit finds a new home at Red Sweater

Plus the icon looks great on my site!Brent: Not only that—and this observation is for Cocoa geeks only—but Ranchero Software (where MarsEdit began) and Red Sweater have the same RS initials for their Cocoa code so the code itself will fit right in: no need to rename any classes.
In addition at the moment there are no plans to require Leopard for the next version of MarsEdit. Although weblog engines like WordPress or Blogger typically come with their own rich code editors it's nice to be able to use a dedicated Mac-like product instead and I'm pleased that my own positive experiences with MarsEdit are more likely to continue now.
