Have you had a look at Blogo (http://www.drinkbrainjuice.... recently? We just released version 1.2 with support for HTML editing and comment moderation in WordPress 2.7. Blogo is also a full Twitter client with support for Ping.fm.

OK, and what about Linux. I am looking for quite a while now for a good blog editor (for wordpress) under Linux... Any idea anyone ;-)

Just a list though. No feature examinations and evaluations.

I use Ecto on the Mac, and Blogjet on Windows.

Although I will try out Qumana now though.

I use Circus Ponies Notebook on my Mac. Imports and exports OPML, saves as HTML, saves as PDF, text clips from Netnewswire, indexes and sorts every word, saves to my iPod.

When I need to put something online, I use OPML Editor, MarsEdit, or Firefox.

Wow, I use multiple editors:

For quick posts about things I read/see online, I use Performancing for FireFox.

For pre-written things (that I've done in Notepad++ or another text editor, usually while on the road, or offline), I use Ecto, as I've already got HTML styling inline.

For quick WYSIWYG updates, I use Qumana or a dev build of Ecto that I'm testing for the author.

Fair play to the Qumana guys though - I posted a quick review of the app and within a couple of hours had 3 commnents from them discussing my issues.

Qumana is still what happens when you wave the magic Java wand and don't really understand the UI conventions and rules for the platforms you run it on.

I used Ecto for a bit a few weeks ago, and really liked it. Still considering dropping the cash.

So Robert, what are your results? What did you try and what works well?

NVu for the big jobs, but mostly Performancing.

Another vote for ecto on the Mac. I compared MarsEdit and ecto when I was trying to decide and ecto came out on top for me. Excellent product.

I've tried BlogJet but could never get it to FTP my pictures up. The Support folks...er, Dmitry, did his best but with no luck. I really, really like it, but am now using Performancing too. It works well enough.

I saw that Tris, but it's also that in OSX, that panel functionality is what the Dock is for. The OS has a UI element to handle such things. Creating another one isn't going to get you a large user base.

Yes, the Java-ish UI is something we're working on ... it is written in Java, after all!

The DropPad can be hidden and we're working on a preference for it never to show at all. It's opaque because Java doesn't support transparency right now.

John ... I just replied to your e-mail.

I checked the Mac version of Qumana, but I didn't like its GUI too - too much clutter. I bought ecto - it rocks.

Tris, your app looks too Java-ish :)

Oh, and for Windows you'd better go with BlogJet. I know what I'm talking about because I develop it. LOL :)

I used Blogjet for a while but have switched to Rocket Post. I love this program.

Qumana's okay, but it's annoying. The drop window thing blows, and you can't get rid of it, so sits there and blocks screen space. When I pointed it at bynkii.com, it didn't get all the posts, just a few by default. If you ctrl - click the drop pad, and select Exit, (which is used, incorrectly, as a synonym for Quit. This is BAD UI, only Quit is Quit), you get a blank modal dialog that in theory is asking you to save a post, even if you don't have one, but since it has no buttons, you can't dismiss it without force-quitting the application.

It doesn't allow me to preview the posts in either an external browser or by using Webkit, as ecto does, and it is sllllloooooow, and reeks of Windows Port, especially the keyboard shortcut underlines.

the team needs to spend a little more time with how stuff works on a Mac. I did attempt to send them some feedback, although a specific Beta Feedback email address would be a lot better.

It seems people are talking between "etco" and "performacing". Why not make it more wide from here? How about qumana? I used it once and gave it up.

Definitely Blogjet. Simple and reliable.

I stick to Zoundry for its unicode support. Also, tagging and pinging support is great. Unicode not matter for those who do not blog in the languages which require this, of course :)
