I prefer blogging with a desktop app. It just makes the experience that much better. One of the most widely used, cross platform, blogging apps is ecto. Ecto's developer decided to completely rewrite the app from the ground up for version 3. Here is now giving us a sneak peek over at his blog.Use Spotlight as a reference tool. Type any word in the Spotlight box and one of the top entries will be a definition. Click on it, and it will bring up the dictionary application to check the word in either the dictionary, thesaurus, Apple database, or Wikipedia.

I just hope this works with the new Blogger admin system as my current version of Ecto has all sorts of trouble logging in such the Google "upgrade"

Anyone know if ecto(3) has Dotmac integration? Couldn't find any information on their site in the first pass.
