Ahhhh.  MarsEdit’s back up.

It was a mod_security issue. New rules installed, MarsEdit’s working again. 

To be honest, I hadn’t realized how much of a timesaver MarsEdit had become.  Hand-copying titles, body text, switching tabs to set categories for a post ... and then having to scroll down to hit the submit button because I’ve got such a long list of categories ... damn.  In MarsEdit, I’ve custom-configured the info that gets quoted in the constructed post, too.

I don’t often plug a product, but just go out and buy MarsEdit.  You may call me biased because I worked the beta for Pike all those years ago, but I’m tellin’ you ... use it for two weeks, you won’t go back.

Later: To be perfectly clear, in case this gets linked: from what I understand, mod_security 2.5+ no longer allows the on/off switch to be set via .htaccess, because of the insecurity of .htaccess.  Any changes must be set from Apache/PHP.  If you’re on shared hosting, send a ticket to the security or tech departments. In MarsEdit, go to WINDOW > NETWORK LOG and copy the first eight lines of information (including URL, Method name, Network reply received, Status Code, Succeeded) and send this information along with your request. Your host will be able to set the correct mod_security rules.
