Okay, so I have decided to test out ECTO. What is ECTO? Basically it is software program you download and install on your computer that allows you to easily post to your blog, edit your posts, add pictures, and more while your are online or off! It communicates directly to your WordPress as well as many other blogging programs allowing you to do your posts on your computer, then upload your posts to your blog.

They have a free 30 day trial and have many features for their window version. Some of the features that made me decide to test it out were the easy image file and upload feature, an HTML preview of your entries, and the ability to easily edit the look and layout of your posts. You can view screenshots of the program from their website.
