ecto
I've been blogging a lot, lately, and you might have wondered why. To be honest, it comes down to one thing: ease of use.
Blogging through a web interface can be tiresome: you have to log in, wait for the server to load stuff, etc. And, no matter how nice the tools you use are, like MovableType, the interface is still not all you would like it to be.
Enter ecto. This is a very well thought out and written application that lets you blog on your desktop and does the rest of the stuff in the background. It supports a number of blog publishing tools, it has a very simple and nice interface, it will do linking and images for you, it will let you add your own markup and HTML. I'm sure there's tons more features that I've just not figured out yet.
Ecto's got a free two week trial, so go try it out. I've been using mine for a week or so, since I noticed it on bOINGbOING, and I just paid the $18 for it. This software really rocks. Oh, it it even works on Windows.

Hey how come I can't get ecto to work with my Movable Type v2.6.1?
I can't seem to find the right path to the mt api?
Does ecto require a newer version? I can't find the reqs for ecto on their site.
