I’ve been tinkering with the 14 day demo of ecto on my new laptop and loving it. I’ve been alternating between using the free w.blogger and the built in movable type interface for the last year or so. While ecto isn’t free, it’s interface and integration with mac OSX are just completely superior. It’s well worth a look if you’re interested in using a rich editing environment to write your weblog entries, and at only $18 the price is right.
