1. Custom Preview Template in MarsEdit

    Ever since MarsEdit extended support for Tumblr, I’ve used this blog editor exclusively to publish everything on this site but there’s have been moments when I’ve turned to Tumblr’s online dashboard mostly because I like to get a full blown preview of what the entry will look like before I publish.

    If you’ve used MarsEdit before, you’ll know the software does have this Preview option already where you can see your writing live while you type but when using it straight out of the box, you’re really just looking at an unappealing blank un-styled page of everything you’ve written.

    Formatted HTML/CSS so that MarsEdit previews a post exactly like Jorgeq.com

    To spice up the writing experiencing a bit more, I followed Matthias instructions in copying the HTML and CSS code he’s made available and placed it into the Preview Template Editor. After some CSS styling of my own, I’ve completely replicated the look and feel of my site into MarsEdit.

    If customization is your thing, I can’t recommend this enough. I’m enjoying this piece of software even more.
