Ecto Baby… OK Enough with the “Baby”
So I’m still trying out all kind of shit with the new iMac (did I mention that I had an i Mac now?). May latest experiment is blogging with tools rather than messing about online in Drupal itself. As I have a new Drupal 6 installation to play with I figured why not. So this here is a post using Ecto.
It looks like a feature rich editor. I edited an existing page on this website earlier and it was a bit painful I have to say. I’m pretty sure that was because I had no idea what I was doing. 
So anyhoo, you can add pictures from Flickr like the one of La Sagrada Famillia embedded in this post. But it seems that you have to go into the code and change it if you want the text to wrap nicely. I guess that is not such a hardship, I’m sure there is a way around it.
It is also possible to add links to Amazon if you want to try to sell stuff like this one “Perfect Disguise: Introducing the Contrast” (The Contrast) you have the option to add a link or an image or both. If you are an associate then you can also add you id and they few pennies that you make from the links will go straight to your account. I like this function it has to be said especially as this module has not been migrated to Drupal 6 yet.
It is also possible to import a track from iTunes and other places although I am not sure how yet…
All this and loads more… at $17.95 it it is something of a steal. I might take advantage of the weak dollar and get a copy.
So Indy is really on his way back. There is a trailer for it and everything these days (see below). Needless to say the muppets that comment on film sites have begun to bitch about it already. There is just no pleasing some people.
