While I was never completely pulled in by Kung-Log, ecto so far seem to be fairly impressive. Quick response time, supports about everything I&#8217;d want it to (trackback pings, categories, file uploading, etc.), and has a decent number of useful extras (an option to prevent uploading posts that don&#8217;t have a category set or a summary written, and a live preview that can even tie into your site&#8217;s stylesheet so that it actually looks the way it should once posted), plus some &#8220;fun&#8221; goodies (like the ability to automatically insert what track iTunes is currently playing).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve gotten so used to just using the web interface that I&#8217;m not entirely sure if I&#8217;ll be coaxed away from that or not, but I&#8217;m always willing to give one of these things a try.
