testing ecto

| No Comments

This is a test of using Ecto to post to my journal. If it works, it will allow me to post without going through the Movable Type web interface. Which can be a pain to load using dialup and a cell modem.

Ecto seems pretty nifty at first glance. I'm on the free two-week trial period but if it does what I think it will, I'll gladly pay $18 to register it.

[It posted just fine! A few problems: when I edited the post it generated an error message, something about XML. One time the edit went through anyway, the other time it didn't.

There's an alert message when I post without a category. That will be helpful on the trip, when every post goes in the "art car" category, but most of the time I don't use categories. Wonder if I can turn that off?

Also, one of my pings isn't getting through. Ecto doesn't seem to time out and I can't figure out how to make it stop trying. Eventually it crashed, but it saved everything I had typed! That's pretty cool. I just deleted that ping and downloaded an upgrade, maybe that will help.]
