Making Blogging Easier

So, I am still relatively new to this blogging world, but since it is a goal for this year to blog regularly, I am determined to become efficient at it. Bob The Teacher specializes in internet social marketing, so on my list is to read his blogs and other things he has written and recommends reading. I have also been researching to find ways to make it easier and quicker for me to blog. I came across applications that allow me to post my tweets from the dashboard of my mac, and that has helped a lot. I use twitterific on my phone and twitahead on my computer lets me schedule tweets that i know i'll be doing later and won't have access for. That has been a neat feature to use!

This morning, I found a bunch of applications that let you write your blogs from your desktop without having to go through the process of pulling up the internet, then your blog, then signing in, etc. There were some really cool ones that came with trials and then I came across Ecto. I was able to download it for free, though there seems to be a version you can purchase as well. You can add media, trackbacks, links, etc. for it too, which is cool. It's a basic setup, nothing fancy and pretty like some of the others, but it works, and it's free, so that's all that matters right? I will let you know what I think about it once I've used it a few times. If you have a mac, try it yourself at the link above... or if you have any other suggestions of things that you use to make blogging easier, I'd greatly appreciate you sharing with me!

Thanks for reading!
