Quick Posts 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 RSS application NetNewsWire, select News > Post To Weblog. NetNewsWire sends the selected news item directly to MarsEdit.

Changing the format of incoming news items

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

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

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