Taking myWPEdit for another test ride
August 26th, 2011 | 
Author: I actually read the manual for myWPEdit and I thought I would try out another of my stream of consciousness posts where I try out features. First, I love the auto-correct as you type spell correction. It works a lot like the other Apple iOS devices I know and love. They say I can use inline HTML too, so that last part should be blue. Cool, the preview says it is. Looks like in the middle of a sentence I can add an HTML tag like an h2 and style it as inline
Boom
big text!! OK, looks great in the preview window but on my blog the inline part of the H2 doesn’t seem to work, could be my blog. Nope, looks like the style was rewritten and the display:inline was stripped out, ugh!
| This | is a | table header |
|---|---|---|
| 125 | 250 | 554 |
OK, tables are nice, code seems in tact, kind of a pain to have to hand code a table though, it would be nice to have a table editor built in. I am afraid that a lot of my friends who are not HTML gurus will be a bit unhappy with that.

Blogging with Adobe Contribute 6.1
So here we have the first post using Adobe Contribute 6.1. And as you can see from the image on the left, Contribute does the basic things you would expect from a 3rd part blog editor. It handles images well,
| Contribute does a good job | With Tables | And looks manageable |
|---|---|---|
The issues arise around what always plagues Adobe products, price. At $199 for a full license, it cannot compete with Windows Live Writer at free, and Live Writer is more capable. Adobe would rightly argue that Contribute is not a one trick pony like Live Writer so it does not have to be the best blog editor, but if you are already using the Adobe collaboration suite, Contribute can blog too.
Since I have the Adobe suite through my job, Contribute makes a nice addition to possible tools I can use to write a blog post.
All in all, Contribute is improving definitely worth keeping an eye on.
Blogging with Adobe Contribute
It has been a while since I have tried using Adobe Contribute to add content to my blog. So here I am with version 5.1 as part of my CS 5.5 Web refresh. So far it has remembered the last time it was connected to my blog and it appears to be ready to roll.
First, here is a header 2
Now we have a block quote of some content right now.
And back to normal again. So now I am going to publish this and see how it looks.
Test post with MOApp’s myWPEdit
This is the first post with a new App from MOApp myWPEdit for Mac. So I bought this because it was substantially cheaper than the other Mac 3rd party editors for WordPress and it looks like it has a full feature set.
I must say that so far, so good, at $9.99 it appears to be what was advertised and this post is cruising along so far. Setup was a breeze and I have a list of all of my past blogs on the left so I know it has connected.
Nice the photo upload and insert seems to work well too. AlturaVista Home page Adding links seems pretty straight foreword, so far so good.
