MarsEdit 1.1 Public Beta

I've been in the beta program for MarsEdit 1.1, the adjunct to my favorite Mac Program, NetNewsWire.

MarsEdit is the program I use to do most of my posting to Blogger & LJ, and the new version finally supports the ATOM API, which blogger uses, which means that I can finally post to blogger from MarsEdit with Titles.

This is very good news. Now MarsEdit 1.1 has entered Public Beta, so here's the relevant info for MarsEdit 1.1b5, for those who want to try it:

How to spell phở

This character: ở is especially hard to get right.

On a mac, open up the international control pane in system preferences, and then activate the Unicode Hex Input keyboard.

You can then open up a cocoa program, and type in "option 01A1 0309".

Easier on a pc, here.
