by QueenGeek on November 3, 2009

Do you blog often?  Do want an easier solution that logging into multiple sites?  Do you wish you could edit your blog on your Mac without being connected to the internet?  Well, Ecto maybe a solution for you as it’s a desktop, WYSIWYG  editor that allows you to create, edit and update your blog posts.  It supports Wordpress, Blogger, TypePad and many other blogging platforms.

SETUP

Ecto is not difficult to setup.  The username and password that are used to login and create posts are needed.  The program will download any posts to your Mac computer.  If you have multiple blogs, Ecto will download all the posts per blog for easy modification.  It should be noted that Ecto does not affect the design or layout of your site, rather it only works with your posts.

Next, you are free to create or update any posts, add tags/keywords and categories as well as format the posts as desired.  Once your post is complete, just publish it and your done!!!

SUMMARY

Ecto is an affordable option that may help.

  • Hello...i am a novice blogger, and i need a help. From those 3 blog editors which one is the best? Because i need the editor to avoid loss internet connection.

    And if you don't mind help my blog at http://www.computer-any-ware.co.cc/. And i've put your link to my blog. Please put my link back.
  • I liked Ecto for creating posts that are primarily "text" based sites such as yours. My sites have more embedded vidoes and although Ecto will work, it can be trying.
