You&#8217;ll find it in your home directory at:\n<\/p>\n<p><pre>\n[Home] -> Library -> Application Support -> MarsEdit\n<\/pre>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFor this initial Tumblr support, I have only endeavored to support the Text, Quote, Photo, Link, and Chat post types. Audio and video are on the list for a future enhancement.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWhile the emphasis of this release is on Tumblr, there are a few goodies that will benefit those of you who are using MarsEdit on other blog systems as well:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Opening the media manager is now much faster with lots of photos<\/li>\n<li>Improved usability and design of the Technorati Tags editor<\/li>\n<li>Improved weblog Favicon detection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Tumblr Caveats<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI think there is enough here to get people excited about using MarsEdit for Tumblr, and hopefully you won&#8217;t run in to many pitfalls. But there are a few things that I already know are working less than perfectly.\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Autodetection of weblog settings fails if you host on a custom domain name. To work around this, give MarsEdit your tumblr-based URL, e.g. &#8220;http:\/\/marsedit.tumblr.com\/&#8221;.  I am working with the Tumblr folks to see if we can facilitate a way for MarsEdit to autodetect settings from a custom domain name.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed in 2.3b15: <strike>Post options such as selecting between Markdown and HTML , and setting whether a post is public or private, are not yet supported. I hope to support these in an update sometime after 2.3 ships.<\/strike><\/li>\n<li>Fixed in 2.3b15: <strike>Only the first tumblelog for an account can be edited with MarsEdit. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/api\">Tumblr API<\/a> has come a long way in recent months, but it is missing the capacity to specify a particular blog to edit when submitting or editing a post.<\/strike><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Have Fun And Keep In Touch<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI hope you&#8217;ll give this new release of MarsEdit a try, and take the time to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.red-sweater.com\/support\/\">send me your feedback<\/a> if you&#8217;ve got it. I&#8217;m not aiming for perfection with 2.3, but usable and lovable would be a good start. I appreciate your help in getting us there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many of you have been waiting patiently for MarsEdit 2.3, featuring support for Tumblr.
