Ecto out...

... MarsEdit

in.

Ecto was getting on my nerves - messing up formatting, not dealing properly with embedding thumbnails with Skitch. Time to give MarsEdit a chance.

First impressions are that it appears a bit basic (not a bad thing for a basic blogger like myself) but set-up to my Blogger account was relatively simple. I'll post a more comprehensive review later on (if I can be bothered!).

Ecto

I'm in the process of trying out a few Mac blog clients. After failing to get MarsEdit to work (can you believe they have no instructions how to set it up with Blogger?) I've stumbled upon ecto. It seems like a good app on the face of things, will give it a go for a while!

I particularly like the ability to tag posts from within the client...

... & it's ease of integration with Skitch (as you can see from the screenshot above). The clean interface is definitely a positive too...

I'll post a more comprehensive review after using it for a while but in the meantime check out the official site here.
