Generating High Quanitities of Blog Content - Ecto

This is the Fourth post in a series of tips on how to generate higher quantities of content for your blog. Check out the other posts in this series at Check out the previous posts at Set Targets, News Sites and Aggregators, Start a New Blog, Break Down Your Posts, Ecto and Recruit Writers.

Use a blogging tool like Ecto. I’m a big user of this tool. It is blogging tool that allows you to post offline (ie I can take my laptop to the cafe where there is no wireless net connection and still blog - to upload later).

It also has a nifty two click ‘blog this’ function that lets you highlight text in an article that you want to quote. With just one key stroke you can import the highlighted text, article title and a link to the article into your blog tool from your browser (in a pre-determined format) to be posted with just another click (some editing is sometimes needed depending upon how the article is formatted). They also have a ‘what you see is what you get’ editing feature and a drag and drop image uploader.

I use the Mac version (version 2 - still in beta) which has a few extra features than the Windows one but I’ve heard the Win version is just as helpful. I know that using Ecto during the Olympic games enabled me to post over 100 posts per day on our Olympics Blog.

I use Performancing, but lured by your statement of Ecto’s 2-click ‘blog-this’ function, I’ve downloaded Ecto 2 with great hope. I can’t install it as it refuses without Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0.

This is something beyond me. Will any kind soul please explain what to do! Perhaps someone from Ecto..!

Thanks in advance.
