trying out marsedit

The sad fact is that fixing ecto is probably not going to happen. I think wordpress 2.9 broke it. But too, late, I’ve gone and upgraded. If I’d known ecto would break, I would have bided my time in wordpress 2.8.x until they fixed it. I hope they plan to fix it.

As a stopgap, I’m trying out a new blog writer, Marsedit.

A test photo.
Here we see the mysterious Wizard Luc blowing Ginormous Bubbles. Or trying, anyway. That spell has always been tricky.

Hmmm. That didn’t work. Who wants to look at all that gobblydeegook? And I don’t like how you can’t just stick the photos in the typing window, why does it have to be on a separate ‘preview’ page? The cool thing about ecto is you can put the pictures right in the page you’re typing on, move them around, write from the photos. This way, I don’t know, it’s awkward.

And anyway, I have no idea how to get it to show the image and not the img src stuff. I’ll poke around another few minutes, but if the answer doesn’t reveal itself soon, Marsedit trial may be abandoned. Tech is so awesome when it works and so annoying when it doesn’t.
