Joe and Sally Want to iBlog
iBlog, you blog, we all blog… iBlog just emerged in a new
iteration, and since several people in the Joe & Sally blogging posts keep screaming “iBlog iBlog iBlog,” I thought
I’d post about it.
If you already have a .mac membership, love iLife to death, like the simplicity of the Mac GUI, and fear all of my Terminal Tips posts, then iBlog very well could be the beautiful little blogging app for which you’ve been looking. It’s the blogging app that would be part of iLife if iLife included a blogging app. It functions as a newsreader and blog-manager / publishing system, through which you can manage multiple blogs hosted wherever you like. Sure, with a product like iBlog, you feel pressured to use it with your iDisk, but the product actually can work with nearly any server space you can come up with, including local installations that you want to share via OS X’s integrated web-sharing.

just want to point out that blogwave studio kicks ass on iblog.
they both have .mac integration and ilife integration, but blogwave is a lot more fleixble and makes it really easy to interact with haloscan comments server.
check it out - much better for .mac members.

How's the support network on the Blogwave side of things? I know iBlog's creator is quite personalble, there's also an iBloggers forum where you can muse or question.
Can we agree on iBlog over LiveJounal? Live Journal!? What an excuse for wasting someone's hard-disk for no good reason (can soemone post there Live Journal to prove me wrong!).
Anyway - "makes it really easy to interact with haloscan" ? i don't gettit, haloscan is rubbish - really poor, slow, external - interaction - as in the HTML is already in there... hmm, iBlog with the Coppola Template (shameless-self-promotion) and your sorted.
That said; motech - i'll check it out, before I go further on this rant.

I'll second that credit for ecto! When I made the switch from PC to Mac, I needed something to replace w.bloggar which I used religiously. Ecto was exactly what I needed and worth every penny of it's low cost.
