FeedDemon supports ecto

Both ecto 1.0 RC4 and FeedDemon 1.10 RC5a were released yesterday, which is good timing since the developers of ecto and I have been working to enable ecto as "Blog This" tool in FeedDemon (thanks, Alex!). This adds to the list of desktop blog publishing tools which FeedDemon already auto-detects:

• BlogJet
• BlogWizard
• w.bloggar
• Zempt

If you'd prefer to post directly to your blog from FeedDemon, instructions are available for several blogging packages:

• MovableType
• Nucleus
• pMachine
• TypePad
• WordPress

BTW, if you're not sure how to blog from FeedDemon, all you need to do is right-click a news item in FeedDemon's news item list and select "Blog this News Item."

This isn't a support question, but a feature request: When I'm reading blogs online I'll often follow a link to a new url in the browser panel, and it's that url -- a news article someplace, another blogger's post, whatever -- that I want to blog. But there's no easy way to blog directly from the browser panel as there is in the news item list. With MT, there is a slightly kludgey work-around, using a "Post to MT Weblog" link that's set up in my favorites. If I want to put that item into a FeedDemon news bin, though, I'm out of luck.

Any chance of adding a right-click menu similar to the one in the news item reader to the browser panel?

Thanks. Otherwise, it's a great piece of software.

Not sure if this helps, but you can drag-and-drop a link from the browser into a FeedDemon news bin.
