ECTO WINS

ok gang, like many people, I'm a fan of open source apps, because they're usually free... but Ecto is the winner in the blogging app race for the Mac OSX platform so far. I'm open to other suggestions.

Here's what I wanted: I wanted an app that would allow me to open my blog from any machine, refresh the blogs published from elsewhere, make changes, be as WYSIWYG as possible, and of course, post. Ecto is it.

And, as much as I hate to acknowledge M$, their LiveWriter is winning me over in the Wintel arena... of course, I'm only on that rarely, and have no idea what's going to happen with Windows 7... but so far it seems to do just as well as Ecto.

Yeah... in the realm of OSX Blogging Client Comparison, Ecto seems to be the tops... at least for me in blogspot.

i’m attempting to find multi-platform blogging… well, osx & win

   i'm getting errors using this...but not ecto

more client trials

trying qumana on the PC, Ecto was the much better option on the mac from what i've found...

trying out Qumana

here i am trying this client for OSX and blogger/blogspot - in the end i'm really trying the Google system.  Google is providing on some level nearly everything a person could want, the level at which its provided, and its usability is what i'm testing here.

first post
