Ecto was the worse of the bunch to set up. MacJournal and MarsEdit was able to log in without additional interaction on my part. Ecto never automatically log into my accounts. Had to manually configure every one of them. The worse was for LiveJournal, took several tries. I did a copy and paste so there was no data entry errors yet it still refused to connect to LiveJournal. It finally did though. If you post to several blogs, MacJournal seemed easier because you can copy from one blog to another with a couple of clicks.

I wasn’t sure which editor to choose: Ecto or MarsEdit… after reading your review, I choose Ecto. Thanks.

Have you used Qumana (www.qumana.com)? it’s a decent desktop client but the way it handles tags is not compatible with WordPress.

BTW, you have a typo in your article: “… then MarsEdit and Ecto.” Shouldn’t it read: “… than MarsEdit and Ecto.”?

I just switched to a mac and had been using windows live writer for my windows live spaces blog. I’m finding that the firefox plugin scribefire is the best (plus it is free!) for me.

monica: For resizing images in MarsEdit, right now there isn’t much of a solution. I hope to add at least some basic support for this at some point.

At the moment what I do is use a separate application. I’m using Skitch (http://skitch.com/) which is pretty awesome, but it’s still in public beta.

I like MarsEdit except for its inability to resize images. Any idea if there’s an applescript for this?

Have been trialling ecto for the past few days. Feels a bit more clunky than MarsEdit, particularly on the richtext front.

Sam,
I’ve not tried to use any of them with Windows Live Spaces so I don’t know. I’ll try to look into that and if I find the answer I’ll leave it here as a comment.

Do any of these support blogging to Windows Live Spaces?
