When you want to post something to your weblog, choose News > Post to Weblog to send it to your preferred weblog editor.

   What happened to NetNewsWire’s built-in weblog editor?

We split it out into an application named MarsEdit which was subsequently sold to Red-Sweater software. It has many more features than the weblog editor that used to be built-in to NetNewsWire.

The post-to-weblog command works with MarsEdit and with other desktop editors such as ecto and Xjournal.

How to get set up

1. Make sure you have a weblog editor and it’s set up and working.
2. In NetNewsWire, choose NetNewsWire > Preferences. Click the Posting icon.
3. If the popup menu doesn’t already have your weblog editor selected, choose Other… from the popup menu to choose your weblog editor.

How to post an item

1. In NetNewsWire, find a news item or web page you’d like to post to your weblog.
2. Choose News > Post to Weblog.
3. Your weblog editor should open a window with that post ready for editing.

Tip: there’s a Post to Weblog toolbar command. If it’s not in your toolbar, and you’d like to add it, choose View > Customize Toolbar…
