What is ECTO?
Ecto is a desktop blogging client for MAC and Windows that is compatible with most major blogging platforms including Blogger, Wordpress and Typepad, amongst many others.
Why I Started Using ECTO.
I switched from Blogger to Wordpress for two reasons. One was for more flexibility with my template and the other was for a better tool for writing my blog posts. Well I’m sorry to say that even Wordpress, while much better than Blogger still has some kludginess in it’s text editor. I need the WYSIWYG feature. I found my holy grail of text editors: ECTO from a recommendation by ProBlogger, Darren Rowse.
Why You Should Try ECTO:
Time Saving Benefits
- Easy formatting in WYSIWYG. No more losing your post in unreliable WYSIWYG text editors. Both Blogger and Wordpress have this problem. ECTO eliminates this problem.
- No more losing code or gaining random code.

Promotion Benefits
