There's no means of editing the HTML code of your entry, which reveals just how limited MacJournal is as a blog editing tool. MacJournal is promoted as software for blogging and journaling but it's really best suited for private diaries, note-keeping, or journals, rather than a full-fledged blogging tool. Here's where the problem with MacJournal reveals itself. I have plenty of storage space on my own server and this seems more in line with how I edit and post to the web site and online store. Using the image attachment feature of the blog itself just stashes the file away on Wordpress or Livejournal's servers, and isn't how I want to do it. This way, I always know where my images are, what they're named, and I can download them, mess with them in Photoshop, repurpose them or whatever. When I post images to my blogs - something I'm trying to do less frequently now, unless there's a good reason, because it makes composing the blog entry more difficult and time consuming and thus something I'm less likely to do often - I upload the images via FTP to my own server (), in a sub-folder, and then link within the post to the image URL. Though this is less than idea, the two blog folders are only separated by a tiny bit of screen space, so it's still more convenient than separately managing the two blogs. MarsEdit uses a different organizational structure in that every blog is kept in a separate folder within the window, and each blog entry must be composed in one blog or the other, then copied-and-pasted into the other blog. ![]() Initially I liked MacJournal better, because you can create a single "entry" and once it's composed, send it first to one blog and then to the other. Both MarsEdit and MacJournal appear to have strengths and weaknesses relative to what I'm trying to do, which is compose and edit blog entries in a single location, and post them to both Wordpress and Livejournal and thus keep two blogs synchronized while I figure out which to stick with.
