So one of the challenges I have had is that I often have trouble finding time to write a blog post when I think of it. This situation most often occurs when I am traveling for work. The reason is that most times I am thinking about this stuff while I am sitting on a plane. Typically there is no internet access. I have thought about writing offline by using a text editor or other program, but I have not been exactly enamored by the process of writing and then transferring the information. The formatting does not always look right.
I looked at the idea of using Contribute as part of the Adobe Creative Suite, but well I can’t even get that to run on my computer. When I contacted Tech Support they did not really help with my issue as when I explained what I was trying to do, they simply said that Contribute does not support Word Press. So I found this program called MarsEdit that I think I will try out. I don’t remember where I found it, but figure I might as well try it. It is not open source or free ware but it does have a trial period so I figure I will try it out.
One of the things that is interesting is that it has an option to upload images and place them inline. I have not decided if I want to do that or keep with putting stuff in SmugMug. So this will be my first post using MarsEdit. If I don’t like it, it might be my last.
I wrote this post offline and will try to post it once I connect.
