Mars Edit – Blogging tool

This post is brought to you by the pretty nifty Mars Edit by Red Sweater.
I’ve been looking for an OSX blogging client, and over the Christmas period I discovered Mars Edit. It’s pretty similar to Windows Live Writer in a lot of ways – it allows you to write, modify and remove [...]

An update to the EmbedVideo Plugin
