ExpressionEngine 2, MarsEdit and External Editors

Has anyone been able to get EE 2.2+ working with MarsEdit? I have seen some support threads on the MarsEdit site referring to an “Invalid Access” error (which is what I’m getting) but point back to a problem with EE.

While I’m at it, how many of you even use third party tools for posting content to EE? Take the survey below and let’s find out. I’ll share the results after a few days.

Since I’m working on my first EE site, I haven’t tried tools like MarsEdit and Windows Live Writer but I would love to deploy them.

For whatever reason, I think as soon as people log into a CMS backend they are instantly intimidated. If I could get users to make simple updates via Live Writer/MarsEdit I think that would be much less intimidating for them.
