Testing MacJournal
I’m just checking out MacJournal, a fairly cheap ($22) program that not only allows you to keep personal journals (locked securely on your Mac) but also lets you keep public journals. What we like to call “blogs”.
So, guess what!?! You can post these public journal entries (blogs) to...you guessed it...your blog.
So I’m going to give that a try. If this looks weird or doesn’t work, blame MacJournal.
I haven’t figured out how to use them yet, but apparently MacJournal also supports goodies like smilies ☺ and wiki text as well (not sure what that means yet.)
Looks like you can set tags. It seems to know something about categories, though I can’t figure out how to set it. Maybe it will do that when I upload it to the server.
EDIT: Just tested editing an existing entry from MacJournal as well. Pretty cool.
As I create more entries in MacJournal, it will automatically link to them. That’s sweet.

Yep, worked. That might be worth the price of admission already. Easier off-line blogging.
Looks like a pretty cool system for personal journaling as well, allowing you to attach pretty much anything to it. PDFs, images, sounds, video, whatevah.

Yep, editing is a snap. Me thinks I’ll buy this puppy.

I used to use MacJournal quite a bit.
Unfortunately, I was disappointed to find out that support for my blog’s XML-RPC interface was lacking and not going to get any attention.
Buyer beware…
