Post an entry from Ecto^SM to Quick Blog

Ecto is a fully featured blogging client, available for both PC and Mac®, makes it easy to compose and edit entries on your desktop to and from your Quick Blog. You also gain access to some using the remote blogging feature (paid blog only) and a copy of Ecto (you can obtain a free demo here ).

The following instructions assume that you have installed Ecto on your system.
 
If’ you have already set up “Remote blogging” then you can skip the next paragraph.

Remote blogging can be found under “Manage Blog” > “Settings” and select the “Remote blogging” tab.   Now create a username and password that’s different from your main blog login (we’ll remind you if it’s not) and save these settings.  This user name and password applies only to the main blog account. Sub Authors can use their existing log in and password. Your blog is now able to receive and manage posts remotely from Ecto.

Open up Ecto, go into Tools then Profile manager.  Click on new.  This opens up the profile creation wizards.
