Playing around with MacJournal

I have recently bought the MacHeist nanoBundle2 which included a license for MacJournal - yet another journaling software for Mac. I already have Evernote, which seems to be far better than MacJournal for journalling, but MacJournal has some blogging features that I may be interested in. So I guess I’ll give it a try. This entry is written in MacJournal b.t.w. ;-)

This image was just copied into the editor window - and then resized a bit to try that out as well. It’s a photo I took during my recent vacation in Sweden b.t.w.


Now lets try some pre-formatted text (I need that for displaying code examples). I did this by changing the font in MacJournal to Courier 12pt - I would have liked to edit HTML tags instead...:

def compare_us(x, y):
return true if x == y else false

And then some regular text again...

Edit: Well, that did not work at all! I guess MacJournal is not for me then :-) My initial experiences with the software have not been very good. The first time I added a blog the application crashed, and I had to try five times before the auto update function actually worked. When adding a blog entry it did not append any of the tags I chose, the editor did not allow me to edit the HTML source etc. Conclusion: it is a crappy blog editor.

  1. I tried both MacJournal and Flock for blogging.

    MacJournal is good if you want to have pictures upload to the blog, and you can keep the post, re-edit and repost. But it does not allow you to edit html, thus you can not fix the translation error it did.

  2. Have you considered giving Macjournal another try? You can enable pre formatted text in the blog settings page. Here are full instructions https://spuder.wordpress.com/2013/07/24/macjournal-using-code-blocks/
