I was hoping that I’d be able to use ecto to edit my blog, but one of the things I’ve grown to be used to with WordPress (even though templating is much easier and it has several options I really like - including not using static pages) is that it doesn’t work well with a lot of blogging clients.
Rush is talking about William Hung right now. I can’t believe I’m hearing about this. It’s nearly ridiculous. I mean, COME ON - you can download the latest William Hung tracks on iTunes, for goodness’ sakes.
Anyway, ecto doesn’t insert line breaks where it should when posting to the blog - it instead inserts a lower-case “n” where there should instead be a paragraph or line break. It’s pretty stupid - and I haven’t been able to find any documentation on why it is doing this. Note also that my comments display at the bottom of each post is broken at this time - that’s because of my upgrading to the latest nightly earlier today, which also sometimes breaks things.
I’m also hearing ABC Radio News speak of rapper Lil’ Kim’s “entourage.” I’m pretty sure I only want to hear the word “entourage” when you’re talking about either (a) Elvis or (b) Jesus.
I’m also discovering some drawbacks to the way Safari is rendering web forms and some of the way it handles CSS - I think it handles CSS a little too well in some cases, because it’s making me change code so things look better in Safari, even when Internet Explorer ignores the formatting and displays it the way I wantged when I make mistakes. It also makes some web forms look a little goofy, and isn’t supporting some in-line editing that I’m doing when I post to the blog.
Spell-checking isn’t kicking in, either.
Man, I wish I could use ecto. I think I’m going to play with it a little more today to try and figure out what’s wrong with it.
