I Bought a Desktop Blogging Client
Filed in: Life Log, Weblog — November 3rd, 2005
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.

May I know how do you import Chinese Character into blog?
I saw somewhere Chinese language based Wordpress blogs, do you know what is the easiest way to create WP blogs in Chinese language?
Thanks a lot in advance.

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

Have you tried qumana?

Do you think ecto is better?

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.

w.bloggar support for chinese character is not good, besides it is not so stable, so I use Zoundry.
