Ecto-Registered

The Chinese says, “工欲善其事，必先利其器 (a good tool is required to do a good job)”. In order to ease my blogging work, I spent USD $17.95 (RM68) on a desktop blogging client — ecto.

Read more about ecto, the great blogging client.

My two cents

Ecto is a small investment for my blogging job. I am not using WordPress web based editor anymore. I used to think that WordPress editor is the best, even after I tried some other windows blogging clients. However, ecto is… great. Highly recommended to blogger who manage many weblogs.

P/S: Problogger Darren use ecto too.

    mr.eims: I haven't try Qumana. I am blogging on Mac.

    Qumana is for windows. I don't see Qumana support trackback/pingback. Qumana lacks of plain text editing (which I prefer). For Windows user, I recommend w.bloggar.

    Yes, Ecto is better. :)
  • Have you tried qumana?

    Bill: Simply type the Chinese characters in your blog. WordPress will display them without problem.
