OK, I finally bit the bullet and bought Mars Edit 2. I'd used Mars Edit since forever, but I really wanted something that made it easier to embed my Flickr photos into blog posts. Guess what showed up first when I googled for that?

So here's something from Flickr, double-clicked in from the media manager:

It looks like it also supports uploading & inserting, but it's more annoying -- it doesn't integrate with my iPhoto media panel, and it has no support for resizing the image on upload. Meh -- I just upgraded my Flickr account today too, so that remains a perfectly great option for me to get images up to the web. Streamlining the Flickr integration is worth the $10 upgrade alone for me.

Most of my online output is going to Twitter (@tilt) or Facebook these days, but I wanted to dust this setup off a little bit for the purpose of a few essay ideas rattling around in my head.

Update: Mars Edit 2 has done this since 2007, it turns out. I just failed to pay much attention at the time. Whee!
