ecto needs some infrastructure work.
I like the blogging client ecto, but their fit and finish leaves something to be desired. I'm writing this on an older version, and when I started it up, it notified me that there was an update. I clicked the download button, and it took me to my browser, where it tried to connect first to kung-foo.tv and then ecto.bloghosts.com, failing both times. I then attempted to download the software myself from the website. Which, as it has many times before, lead to a screenful of control characters, as Firefox attempted to render the gzipped disk image. My guess is that there's a screwed up MIME type somewhere. mt.el may not have as many features, or as slick a GUI, but it's looking real good these days.
