I’ve been a long time user of the Mac text editor, MarsEdit for writing and posting blog posts to WordPress. In fact, I’d fall to my knees in tears if I had to use the online WordPress editor to write posts. While MarsEdit does pretty much everything I need, a new Mac editor called PixelPumper looks like a very stylish alternative that is available for free in the Mac App Store (note – the app is free while the developers of the application are ironing out the bugs. If you download the application while it’s free, it means future updates will also be free from within the App Store). Similar to a few other WordPress editors like BlueGriffon, PixelPumper enables you to compose, edit, and post blog posts to your existing WordPress blog. The editor is also useful for having your posts saved offline to your Mac, or scheduling them for upload at any time you choose. With PixelPumper you can work on drafts of blog posts and manage them without having to log into your WordPress account. PixelPumper requires Mountain Lion 10.8.2 or higher. Main Features To get started with PixelPumper, you simply add your WordPress URL, username, and password. From there the text editor will download your previous blog posts, including your existing categories and tags, and it will automatically set up for a new post. PixelPumper works solely has a WYSIWYG editor, which means that the text you type and the styles and photos you add to your posts are pretty much how your posts
