myBlogEdit
The weblog editor for people with style!
myBlogEdit is an easy-to-use weblog editor focusing on the most important functions for blogger with easy to use features and a clean user interface. Why should you hinder yourself by using the slow and hard-to-use webinterface WordPress comes with, if you could do it with style and comfort of a real Mac application.
myBlogEdit gives you the freedom to work on your articles offline - whenever and wherever you want. With myBlogEdit it's so easy to integrate pictures, without using a special application or thinking about the correct HTML code.
You can customize myBlogEdit to fit perfectly your needs and preferences. myBlogEdit supports all major weblog engines like WordPress, TypePad, MovableType, ExpressionEngine and compatible…
myBlogEdit supports multiple accounts, has an integrated fast media/file manger with file preview and one of the best features is the smooth resizing, formatting and uploading of images with just one single click - so in most cases there is no need for Photoshop or Pixelmator - just choose the image, select size, style - upload it and you're done…
myBlogEdit also supports advanced features like the automatically generation of excerpts or 'custom fields' in WordPress, has an integrated full featured HTML editor with gorgeous syntax-coloring and spellcheck, search/replace, HTML tag templates and keyboard shortcuts and a lot more nifty features…
First launch
Welcome screen
myBlogEdit is the multi blog editor for professionals.
At the first launch of myBlogEdit you are guided to setup at least one account up.
myBlogEdit supports engines like WordPress, MovableType, ExpressionEngine and compatible.
Setting an account up
Weblog settings
Please enter your account details and select your kind of weblog engine.
Blog ID and the XMLRPC URL (API Endpoint) depend on your engine and installation structure.
Here is some guidance:
WordPress: http://yourdomain.com/xmlrpc.php
ExpressionEngine: Please install the MetaWeblog API under 'Modules' - there you will also find your access point
TypePad: http://typepad.com/services/xmlrpc
MovableType: http://yourdomain.com/mt-xmlrpc.cgi - please remember to use your 'webservice password'
The Blog ID is often the number of your weblog or your username.
For WordPress in most cases it is the: 1
If your engine is not listed please choose the confirming API.
You can specify settings for every account.
This includes a custom 'align style' for images and the excerpt (if supported).
In some cases you need to adjust the time/timezone.
Code is poetry!
Editor view
On WYSIWYG:
I have chosen not to integrate a crappy WYSIWY(never)G.
It's the first thing most people switch off.
Instead myBlogEdit offers you a complete HTML editor
with gorgeous syntax-coloring, spellcheck, search/replace and line-count.
For people with style!
Tags menu
myBlogEdit makes it very easy for you to write your entries with style.
The most common tags can be included with one click.
Preview before publish
Preview panel
With one click (or by shortcut) you can easily preview your writing incl. images and attachments.
Custom CSS for WYSIWYG preview
CSS panel
Since the CSS for preview is customizable, you can get a 1:1 preview of your entries.
No need for Photoshop
Image upload sheet
With myBlogEdit it is very easy to add images to your entries.
Just select one, drag it onto the text view or open the upload window,
choose alignment (customizable in Preferences),
choose size (image will be resized automatically),
choose title,
upload it.
It's that easy!
Add any Media
File upload sheet
Of course you can also upload and insert all other files the same way.
Managing Files
Media manager
All the files are managed in one central place "Files" and just a fingertip away.
For every file you upload you can choose to automatically add it to your files-list, you can tag it and apply a comment to it.
Thus it gets even easier to find and reuse it.
Preview files
File preview panel
Of course every uploaded file can be previewed, downloaded and reintegrated with ease.
For the public
Publish sheet
We do not blog for our owns sake
- we want feedback and comments - that's the reason why we blog :-)
With myBlogEdit it is as easy to publish entries as writing and formatting them.
Just push the 'Publish-Button' - select a category and you're done!
Your readers can stop by and comment it.
myBlogEdit wouldn't be a pro tool without the following features:
Multiple categories
Categories tab
Customize automatically generated excerpts...
Excerpt tab
Custom fields
Custom fields tab
In case of an error
Error log panel
In case of an error please take a look into the log, there you will (hopefully) find an answer what went wrong.
Be assured: I am at your side to help you...
Just to be sure: Backup, replace your data
File menu
The complete myBlogEdit data can be saved and restored from a single file.
