To those who think that ME's price is 'too expensive': Please reconsider. Having that (or a template that is close enough) would really be the icing on the cake. Not everyone is able to extract HTML formatting from WP's templates and transfer them to ME. There are some minor quibbles or features that I wish ME would implement to make my experience even more pleasant (chiefly amongst them being able to select between templates for common wp templates like 'twenty-eleven'. A personal preference, for sure, but still. In a direct comparison with on-line editing from within WP I found that I prefer to edit my text in ME, and then upload. I don't know why, but that's simply where I write best. Offline editing is important to me because I compose most of my articles on my *ooooold* laptop, being on the road, between meetings, or (usually) sitting in a quaint, but lovely Coffee Shop without internet access. During sync, articles (and static pages) that I wrote on-line are synced back to ME. Since you can do much of that from within WP itself, the killer feature of ME is being able to create articles off-line and later synch them to your Blog. I like the ability to switch between HTML and Rich Text editing (I am *not* the world's greatest HTML buff), and seeing the results in the preview window updating live is a great help. In the context of your blog, ME allows you to create and update articles as well as stand-alone pages. I'm only using it for Wordpress (self-hosted) blogs, so I cannot comment on how well it integrates with other blogs. Mars Edit is a capable, yet simple-to-use editor for Wordpress (and other) based blogs.
