Going minimal.
Ok I’m sold. After trying Simple Software’s ZenEdit for only a few seconds I already think it’s a fantastic piece of software and I’m wishing I’d found it sooner. My only gripe is the lack of spell checker although my spelling is pretty good sometimes I type to fast or make basic mistakes (the dreaded teh for example) and it would be nice to have them highlighted in some way as I could then replace my normal blogging program with ZenEdit, by this I mean write the post in ZenEdit and then copy/paste it to tumblr add the tags and post it.
I may have to look around for a no frills editor for text files and such like and I’m hoping to find one soon.
P. S. Never mind about the spell checker seems tumblr/Firefox 4.0b1 has one so I will be using ZenEdit to write my posts from now on.
p. p. s. here’s a link to the home page where you can download this and other pieces of software
