After reading George's solicitation, I decided to take a look around for win32 offline blogging apps. The two I looked at this morning (w.bloggar and SharpMT) didn't work with my old 'zlog, which is a bit annoying. From what I could see, w.bloggar uses methods not supported by s9y and SharpMT is broken (the correct responses were being sent, it just kept thinking that there was an HTTP violation).
Is there good, bloat-free (or at least, not over bloated) app for win32? Is there one for linux ?

Messed with this once late last year (in fact was more interested in the XML-RPC ( http://mozblog.mozdev.org/nsXmlRpcClient.js ) implementation but it seemed fairly solid for just a little playing around.
Try ecto (nee Kunglog) for the PC. If it is anything like the Mac version, it rocks. http://ecto.kung-foo.tv/
Used by all of the editors at boingboing and some of them I'm sure aren't Mac users.
Take care,

I tried ecto last night, and to be quite honest, it sucks. It's nothing like the mac screen shots, is quite flaky and isn't much better than using the built-in web based blog interface.
The thing that winds me up the most is that they've found the time to perfect the 14-day trial-ware nagging requester; even with the low price tag (about GBP 10), I wouldn't pay for this.

mozblog no workie in firefox.
I find it quite surprising that there isn't a killer app out there for this already.
