When you first open MarsEdit, it will ask for details about your blog. If you want to add additional blogs, choose the
menu item.After you enter the name and URL of your blog's home page, MarsEdit will usually figure out the rest of the settings it needs.
If MarsEdit doesn’t automatically detect the settings, refer to the Manual Configuration page for instructions on configuring popular blog systems.
If MarsEdit detected your blog settings automatically, your posts will begin to download automatically. To manually download posts at any time, click the Refresh button in the toolbar. Typically you will not need to "Refresh" your blog unless you or another person has made changes to the blog outside of MarsEdit or on another computer.
When MarsEdit finishes downloading, the titles of your posts will appear in the top half of the main window. Select an item to see a preview of the full post in the bottom half of the window.
Refresh failures might be due to problems with your network connection, or because of a configuration problem in the blog’s settings.
The error message should include information from the blog about the cause of the failure, though these messages are not always helpful.
