First post with MarsEdit

If you read the post up from this you’ll see that I just tried out Qumana and wasn’t all that happy with it. It was nice to be able to blog without logging into WordPress, but it had a couple of deal breakers for me.

Unfortunately none of the free solutions I’ve come across have looked to do what I wanted. So it’s off to try a few of the free demos. The first one I’m looking at is MarsEdit.

First look at Qumana

Trying something new again.  The WordPress iPhone app that I posted about a few days ago was nice, but it doens’t work well for longer posts.  Nothing against the app.  But  I can type pretty quickly and it’s frustrating to have to slow down for the little keyboard.  Fortunately I have my MacBook with me pretty much 24/7 so I’m giving an offline editor a try.

The one I’m trying right now is a free one called Qumana.  It looks like it’s a way to get bloggers to use their ad network, but it doesn’t seem that you have to.  

How to get a screen shot from an iPhone

It’s come up a few times where I’ve needed to get a screen shot from my iPhone.  Turns out there are two ways to do it, one of which is built into the phone.

Easiest way is to hold down the home button and press the power button.  You’ll hear the shutter sound and the screen shot will be saved into your camera roll.  Piece of cake. You’ll still have to get it from your phone to your computer, but that’s not too tough.
