This post is the first of many using Mars Edit. A few months ago, I switched from tumblr to a custom side project written in python/django. Over the last few months, I have been making incremental changes here and there ( like adding pagination and a nicer theme ) as time permitted.

I finally had gotten to the point that I wanted to upload images but kicking those over sftp and pasting links into django admin became a huge pain in the ass for me. I had purchased a license for Mars Edit awhile ago and decided to fire it up and add support for my blog.

I added support by using the post MetaWeblog & Django by Greg Abbas as a template and customized things from there.  I had an issue not seeing certain server options from appearing on my blog that appeared in my old wordpress blog. I quickly fired off a tweet to Daniel Jalkut:

@danielpunkass I am connecting Mars Edit to a custom implementation of metaweblog api. How do I see server options for a specific post (wp)?

His response:

@hasanihunter This probably is easier to explain by email. Support@red-sweater.com, please!

I fired off an email the next morning explaining my issue and he replied to me in short order.  It looks like I have a bit more work to get Mars Edit to do exactly what I want it to do but I am happy to do it because of the amazing customer experience I have received from Daniel!

Customer service does matter no matter what the size of your company and I am more than happy to support developers who get it like Red Sweater Software.
