I finally gave up on ecto blog editor after it constantly crashed on me and I was losing posts. I hope they get ecto stabilized in the near future so that I can return to it. I have been a huge Ecto fan and a user of its predecessor Kung-Log. I have even had the pleasure if its creator Adrian coming on my blog before to discuss issues and problems with ecto. I still think its the best blog editor for mac, but for now I need another editor.
I tried Mars Edit and liked it a lot – although not as good with images as Ecto – but now the trial is over and they want $39 from me. Not now, I am thinking, especially after paying for Ecto. So in the meantime, I have downloaded ScribeFire to work with Firefox and that will let me write some posts offline and then send them up when I get online. This post is my first ScribeFire post. Feels pretty good!
hey andrew, hope you’re doing okay! I use ScribeFire its okay but could do with a spell checker…
Hi Scribe fire released a version to work with Safari 7th June, now all I have to do is find out how it works. Later! I need to go and do some weeding in the garden first.
Btw sometimes it takes more than one or two attempts to post a comment, any particular reason?
i dont neeed a spelcheker, ben. hahah
joanna – the only glitch i find, perhaps your problem also, is that it choses “notes” instead of “entries” and wants to post my edit as a new post rather than a re-edit. twice i have had to copy from the note and paste into the entry. not very intuitive.
I click post and it seems to do something and then it briefly flashes up a box but then nothing. If I get the box with the code then I know it will go through.
It’s not like Ben to need a spell checker…
I wish my blog wasn’t caught in the tangled Blogger web. But I’m terrified to export it, in case the whole internet explodes or something.
