Blogging tools for the Mac

Written on 11:19 AM by Shawn

I am currently comparing two blogging tools for the Mac.



The first program is called ecto and I have been playing with it on and off for the last few months. It is getting better and better in the features department every week. More info is available here: LINK



The second one I am trying is MarsEdit. More info for it is here: LINK

I am very new at using it so it will take me a little while to learn the in's and out's of it but it gets great reviews so I am going to give it a shot.

When I am done I will post a new entry with my like's and dislikes of both programs and say which one I will be using for my personal blog's and recommending to others.

The reason I started trying to find something to use for this purpose in the first place is because of my wife. She has been having a hard time getting the blogger web interface to work well and make it do what she wants on her personal blog.

Wish me luck or I will be facing the wrath of the spousal unit!

Ecto Beta 3 for Mac

Written on 1:40 PM by Shawn

So I'm browsing around the web today trying to find something and I came across a little mac software company blog called infinite sushi and they make this blog helper software called ecto and so I thought I would download it and try it out.

I am using it now to create this post to my blog to see if it makes things simpler or if the old web interface I used to use was better. I have not been using ecto long but it does seem to make it easier to see what is already on your blog and to be able to add new entries and edit old ones.

I will give it a try for a few days and report my findings in further detail.

What is this blog about?

Written on 6:36 PM by Shawn

I will mostly be using this blog to try to keep a small journal about interesting things I run across in my travel's. Hopefully you will find some of the things interesting too!

Everyone's got a blog!

Written on 6:19 PM by Shawn

So I was thinking the other day, "Gee! You need something else to waste your very small amount of free time on!" so I decided to start this blog.

Everyone else on the planet has one, so now I do as well.

Yippee! Yahoo!
