[...] Wir alle tun es, aber womit tun wir das eigentlich? Welche kleinen Tools unterstützen uns bei der täglichen Bloggerei? Ein interessantes Thema, dass schon hier, hier oder auch hier behandelt wurde. Ich selbst arbeite an einem MacBook Pro, welches an einem 23“ Cinema Display hängt, wenn ich zu Hause bin. Als Software kommt folgendes zum Einsatz: Browsen und Bloggen: Firefox [...]

[...] I Googled “best blog tools for Mac” and found this article by Darren Rowse, which recommended Newsfire for reading feeds and ecto for posting. Both look pretty good, though I’ve only played with them for a few minutes, so far. I used ecto for the Day 1 post, and seems to be exactly what I’m looking for. On the Windows side, I’ve been using Bloglines.com web-based feed reader. It’s not bad, but slow, like any web-based app. Of course, the cool thing is, I can access my feeds from any computer with an Internet connection. For posting from Windows, I’ve mostly used the Wordpress web-based post editor. Same slowness, same universal availability as Bloglines.com feed reader. I played around with the Widows Live plug-in the Internet Explorer, but I don’t like the way it works. If you’re reading a web page that you want to link in a post, you click “Blog this” in the IE Live toolbar. Instead of just dropping a link into the body of a new post, it titles the post with linked page header and creates a link in the body in its own paragraph. I find myself deleting the title and changing the formating of the link. The Wordpress editor is slower off the mark but quicker to the finish. But ecto blows them both away. [...]

[...] Su Problogger ho trovato un interessantissimo articolo scritto da Glenn Wolsey su quali sono gli che non dovrebbero mai mancare ad un blogger che utilizza Mac OS X. Siccome ritengo che possa essere molto utile per tutti coloro che sono alle prime armi con il blogging e visto il crescente numero di navigatori che scelgono tale forma di comunicazione per esprimere i loro pensieri e diffonderli nella rete ho deciso di tradurlo per tutti colo che hanno qualche difficoltà con l’inglese e qualche rigetto verso le traduzioni fuzzy di Google/Bablefish.

[...] I was recently reading glennwosley.com and I came across an entry that hed written about blogging. I immediately dis-regarded it. But earlier today I remembered that in his entry he talked about Ecto, a blogging application. I thought it would be cool to try out, so I downloaded it from the website. I didn’t realize it until I downloaded it, but it integrates with Wordpress (the software I use to run this site.) So I set it up and ran a couple tests, and man is it cool. You can view your entries, edit them, and write new ones in this app and all the changes will be made on the server. Another feature that I really like about it, is how it handles images. Before I found Ecto I would upload the image to Wordpress and I would hope it fits in with the content on the page. But now with ecto, I can resize it if I want, move it around, and many other things. So far I really like Ecto. If you run a blog you should really think about trying it out. A copy of Ecto will put you down about $18 (I’m am still using trial.) If you want to try it out you can download it from there website. Posted by tucker on Dec 12 2006 under Cool Stuff, Games [...]

I recently stumbled upon ProBlogger and have NOT been disappointed. You not only point bloggers of all levels in the right directions, but also bring new items to the forefront each and every time.

Much thanks to you for building such a useful community and sharing your experiences and expertise!

Windows? What’s that???

Instead of using these applications I use only one: FLOCK

This browser is integrated with del.icio.us, you can blog with it.
The only thing that I miss is the Ping feature, but ok. I can live without it.

I like Vienna RSS because it opens a new tab with the complete article in those stupid ‘partial content’ RSS feeds.

For Images, Imagewell does the job for me. I do not use the Dashboard that much, and Imagewell allows resizing, borders, even watermarking.

For blogging, I like the Performancing extension for Firefox, and Ecto. FIreFTP is a nice extension for ‘Fox for easy FTP’ing without having to open a new program.

Best of all, they’re all free, save for ecto, but ecto’s worth it.

Why would you need something like PingGoat if you use ecto? Just add the ping URLs to ecto for delicious and any other pingable sites you use and those sites automatically get pinged upon publishing the entry.
