Ecto: Working again?

February 10th, 2008 · 1 Comment · The Never-Ending Bloga

After reinstalling ecto, which I like to use for blog posts because it works on my Wordpress and Blogspot blogs, it suddenly stopped working and threw some kind of error. Frustrated, I set it aside and blogged using the other interfaces. On a whim, I tried opening it today, and there it is, working again. It must have been some update or other that David ran on our server(s).

I’ll see if I can get profiles built (again) for my various blogs. I like ecto because it has a number of little buttons for easily adding Amazon, YouTube, Flickr, and iPod content. I don’t need it to do a lot, I just like to be able to click on a button and add a “currently listening” line at the bottom of the post.

Maybe it’s possible now to figure out how ecto does this with WMPTunelog, and see if David can write a plug-in for it on Wordpress.

I do have something called iLike that updates a playlist on my Facebook page.

I’m thinking about changing my Wordpress template to something else… we’ll see if that works out okay or not. I’d have to come up with a different banner image, or a series of different banner images.

And now to see if ecto truly is working again…

Will it be…

Allen Toussaint & Elvis Costello:Broken Promise Land:The River In Reverse (Digital Version)[4:34]

or

Sting:Brand New Day:Brand New Day[6:19]

UPDATE: Huzzah!

It’s working again. Nice to have the ability to add “Now Listening” again.
