One of my hang ups with blogging is a writing the blog.  You have to enter the blog into a text field a web page.  The problem is that you do not get nice editing tools.  Well at least I have not seen any editing tools.  So, I decided to see if there are any good blog editing tools.

I am testing out Ecto.  What is cool about using Ecto (maybe other blog tools as well) is that the entry editing feels like you are writing any other document.

Well this is my first entry using a blog editor.  Pretty cool.

Ok, I learned two things.  First, there is a delay from when you publish and when the entry appears in the blog.  The reason is that a publication time is set for the entry (why I do not know).  Second, you have to use the option edit setting "Convert line breaks in Rich Text mode" to automatically convert newlines to <p> and <br> tags.

Alright I have now updated my client about the time zone information.  Lets see if this works. 

Well that did not work.  Matter a fact, it seem random on when it will decided to actually post the entry. :-(
