![]() MarsEdit 2.1 includes stunningly Mac-like support for tags, which work great with WordPress and Movable Type systems: The growing consensus seems to be that there is a place for both tags and categories, so lately there has been an increase in support for “proper tags” on blogging systems, and a corresponding increase in demand for proper support in MarsEdit. For example, the City of Lincoln and President Lincoln both deserve the tag “Lincoln,” but one belongs in the category “Cities” while the other belongs in “Presidents,” while both belong in the category “America.” What’s the difference? In a nutshell, think of categories as hierarchical categorization, and tags as more for indexing purposes. One of the things that the blogging systems of the world haven’t been able to get their story straight about over the years is whether to support tags, categories, or both. It doesn’t have any of the fine-grained controls that Mail offers, but who knows where this feature might lead in future releases. That was easy! I modeled the search after Mail, which means it’s sort of more accurately a “filter” than a search. Let’s see, I could swear I wrote about NetNewsWire recently… MarsEdit’s new search field makes it a snap to focus in on only the posts that match the search terms you provide. When you combine these posts, your local drafts, multiplied over a few blogs, it gets easy to lose track of things. ![]() While MarsEdit doesn’t completley mirror your blog’s post history, you can download a good number of your most recent posts, so that they’re handy for any edits you want to make. ![]() In summary, MarsEdit 2.1 has a new search feature, a new capsule-based tags editor, support for Movable Type tags, support for saving drafts to the server, massively improved preview performance and usability, and a bunch of other performance boosts and feature tweaks. I’ve updated the high-level “ what’s new” page, but of course I also love the sound of my own keyboard, so I thought I’d spend some time going into detail about what I’ve added to this release. It is with great pleasure that I announce the immediate availability of MarsEdit 2.1, a significant update to Red Sweater’s Eddy-Award winning desktop blog editing application.ĭownload MarsEdit 2.1 From The MarsEdit Home Page
