I guess the only way to find out is backup and go for it. I guess I’m concerned that it won’t handle the custom fields and NextGen photo gallery I’m running.

It's not really concerned at all with the design. The idea is all the design is on your blog for presentation in the browser. But MarsEdit just pops the content in, for most people a lot faster and easier than you can do it through the web admin panel. All in all I'd say trying MarsEdit is a very safe thing to do. Still, it's never a bad idea to do a backup first if you're at all concerned.

From what I can tell, all MarsEdit does is login to your site and uploads the post to where ever your post would normally go. For example, when I submitted my first post from MarsEdit to this blog, I set the timestamp so it wouldn't publish right away. I then logged into the blog, and the post was there waiting to be published just as though I had written it directly in WordPress. There were some minor issues with line spacing, which only seems to be a problem when I use smilies. Other than that, it seemed fine. Of course, <i>I</i> am not going to guarantee you won't have problems, but I don't see why you would. If you're worried, make a backup of your blog before giving MarsEdit a try.

My new design is so freaking customized, I'm afraid I'll crash my site with it. I’ve heard good things about Marsedit, but I’m afraid to use it.
