# MarsEdit Meets Tumblr - Host: [red-sweater.com](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/hosts/red-sweater.com/) - Saved: March 1, 2009 (2009-03-01T08:05:42Z) - Record: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/371892dcfdd4/ - JSON: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/371892dcfdd4.json ## From the page (probably an excerpt, not Jamie's words) Many of you have been waiting patiently for MarsEdit 2.3, featuring support for Tumblr. Today, I’m happy to release a public beta with these updates. Please feel free to download and give it a try! I would also value your feedback on what I’ve done so far. Click Here To Download MarsEdit 2.3 Public Beta Special note for current MarsEdit users: It’s a good idea to make a backup of your current MarsEdit Application Support folder. You’ll find it in your home directory at: [Home] -> Library -> Application Support -> MarsEdit For this initial Tumblr support, I have only endeavored to support the Text, Quote, Photo, Link, and Chat post types. Audio and video are on the list for a future enhancement. While the emphasis of this release is on Tumblr, there are a few goodies that will benefit those of you who are using MarsEdit on other blog systems as well: Opening the media manager is now much faster with lots of photos Improved usability and design of the Technorati Tags editor Improved weblog Favicon detection Tumblr Caveats I think there is enough here to get people excited about using MarsEdit for Tumblr, and hopefully you won’t run in to many pitfalls. But there are a few things that I already know are working less than perfectly. Post options such as selecting between Markdown and HTML , and setting whether a post is public or private, are not yet supported. I hope to support these in an update sometime after 2.3 ships. Autodetection of weblog settings fails if you host on a custom domain name. To work around this, give MarsEdit your tumblr-based URL, e.g. “http://marsedit.tumblr.com/”. I am working with the Tumblr folks to see if we can facilitate a way for MarsEdit to autodetect settings from a custom domain name. Only the first tumblelog for an account can be edited with MarsEdit. The Tumblr API has come a long way in recent months, but it is missing the capacity to specify a particular blog to edit when submitting or editing a post. Have Fun And Keep In Touch I hope you’ll give this new release of MarsEdit a try, and take the time to send me your feedback if you’ve got it. I’m not aiming for perfection with 2.3, but usable and lovable would be a good start. I appreciate your help in getting us there! ## Facts - Kind: [Page](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/kinds/page/) ## Same host - [It Should Be Free?](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/ece12aba0739/) (red-sweater.com, March 27, 2008) - [Check Your WordPress Security](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/126fc4bf79a0/) (red-sweater.com, April 14, 2008) - [Building A Bigger Nerd Ranch](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/00192c47ae40/) (red-sweater.com, September 25, 2008) - [Giving MarsEdit A Voice](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/8055cc78c53a/) (red-sweater.com, November 18, 2008) - [The Gift Of Software](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/199aa739eb60/) (red-sweater.com, December 16, 2008) ## Saved the same week - [Introducing Safari 4, the world’s fastest and most innovative browser](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/8622e40ba5f6/) (apple.com, February 24, 2009) - [Prepayment bonus is back!](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7c399f43bb4c/) (slicehost.com, February 24, 2009) - [Apple to further polish Leopard with 10.5.7 update](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/03d4a9fa9832/) (appleinsider.com, February 25, 2009) - [Announcing: iPhone Pub Night](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/acb61775b1eb/) (unpossible.com, February 25, 2009) - [Airphones turns your iPhone or iPod Touch into a wireless headset](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a57947d1d2b4/) (9to5mac.com, February 26, 2009) ## Elsewhere - Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.red-sweater.com/blog/751/marsedit-meets-tumblr
