If you are reading this then this test works.
I downloaded a little blogging utility that supports multiple blogs on MT (and others). So far in just playing around with it, I love it. Even if posting from this doesn't work, I'll probably pony up the $20 shareware fee just for its formatting functions. There is a list of preset tags that you can edit and add to, and build in keyboard shortcuts for.
It will do multiple categories. You can manage recent posts. You can send notifications, You can turn comments and pings on and off.
And get this THE PREVIEW WORKS. You see your post in color and the right fonts. You also have the option of setting up a live preview so that the preview updates as you type.
You need to be on at least OS x 10.3 but I wouldn't hesitate to try the demo on an older version of OS X either.
If you want it you can find it here.
There's a screen shot of the preview in the extended entry (maybe).
UPDATE: I just discovered that they make a version for Windows (not that there's anything wrong with that.)
O.K. the extended entry didn't work correctly until I opened the standard browser editor and re-saved the post but other than that I have that special warm happy feeling that can only come from a fantastic, cool, piece of software that only cost $20.

Any ideas what I did wrong?
Posted by Stephen Macklin at June 16, 2004 03:40 PMNever mind. I know what the problem is. Something in the code for showing the extended entry on the main page doesn't play well with Apple's Safari. The extended entry works fine in IE.
