Blogging software for Macs.
- Easy to use
- No code expertise needed
- Offline writing, editing
- Publishes to your host
- Not free
- Have to set up layout at host first
- No FTP client for hosting blog yourself
Infinite Sushi ecto 2.3.4 blogging software (for Mac and Windows) is an offline editor that installs on your computer, giving you a backup of your posts. The software makes it convenient to publish to the blog host of your choice -- such as Blogger -- but doesn't build in an FTP client for publishing to a blog you host yourself. Reviews say the software has lots of features, yet is easy to use without knowing any code. You also get spell checking and other editing help usually not available with online blogging. If you're a Windows user, however, reviews recommend Windows Live Writer (free) instead.
We found the best review of Infinite Sushi ecto 2.3.4 blogging software in a PC World special to About.com, comparing four off-line blog editors. The single-product review at the blog Tech Ronin is authoritative, covering the latest version. We found several other reviews useful, but they don't specify the version covered.

This review recommends off-line blog editing as best, then compares four offline blog editors. Infinite Sushi ecto 2.3.4 gets top ranking as long as you've got your blog already designed and set up. This review is reprinted on About.com, but strangely, we couldn't find it at PC World's own site, PCWorld.com. (Note: ConsumerSearch is owned by About.com, but the two don't share an editorial affiliation.)

Software developer and technology blogger Tokerud calls Infinite Sushi ecto "the most powerful desktop blogging tool on the planet."
