Ecto

If you're a blogger and want to manage multiple weblogs with ease, then ecto is definitely worth a try. This feature-rich desktop blogging client is compatible with a wide range of weblog systems, including TypePad, MovableType, Nucleus, Blogger, and more. The program is the successor to the popular Kung-Log and offers users the ability to write and manage entries for their weblogs in an offline environment.

One of the biggest advantages of using ecto is the extra features it offers, such as spellcheck and the ability to create links and attachments. Additionally, ecto is designed to be user-friendly and makes blogging easy, while still giving users as much power as possible to manage their weblogs.

Some of the key features of this software include customization of HTML tags, a server transaction console, per-blog settings, services, bookmarklets, and the ability to drop .webloc files onto the ecto icon or main window.

Using the customization options, you can easily add, modify, and delete HTML tags, while assigning keyboard shortcuts and mapping them to buttons. The server transaction console is another useful tool as it shows the details of all communications with your blog systems. This can be particularly handy if you run into any problems with the software.

One of the most useful features of ecto is the per-blog settings, which allows you to save almost all settings on a per-blog basis. This means that you can have different settings for each of your blogs. Additionally, the services feature lets you create a new draft with text you've selected, while the bookmarklet makes it easy to install and use the bookmarklet in your browser of choice.

Finally, you can drop .webloc files on the ecto icon or main window, and the web address will be inserted in the text. Overall, ecto is a powerful and versatile tool that can make managing your weblogs much easier.
