Posting from Other Applications

Some applications support directly sending an item to MarsEdit for posting. When you send an item, MarsEdit opens a new window, ready for editing.

For example from the news application NetNewsWire, select News > Post To Weblog. NetNewsWire sends the selected news item to MarsEdit.

Changing the format of incoming news items

MarsEdit formats the incoming item with a template, stored in the Attribution section of the Preferences window.

  1. Choose Preferences… from the MarsEdit window.
  2. Click the Attribution tab.
  3. Edit the template text.

The Insert Placeholder allows you to insert template items representing information about the incoming item: title, URL, etc.
