Contribute 4

Well, I was thinking this might be a good alternative for Joan ove MarsEdit – but boy, was I wrong. WAY too complex and convoluted… next to being absolutely Windows non-aesthetic – I know I am biased here – and overall I feel the interface is getting more into the way than being helpful. Why would I want a screaming read background while entering my blog entry, this makes reading almost impossible.

One of the few things I thought might be really cool for her is the fact that it seemed easy to add snippets from the web and/or applications like Exel… but nooo. Here on the Mac, with the FireFox extension installed this feature does not work at all, it tells me to select something before posting to blog even though I have something selected. The only thing what works is to select ‘edit in Contribute’ but that copies the whole page.

I don’t even have to waste more time with this, I do not believe that the new CS 3 version will be any better interface and usage wise – at least not what would be helpfull for Joan.
