Both ecto 1.0 RC4 and FeedDemon 1.10 RC5a were released yesterday, which is good timing since the developers of ecto and I have been working to enable ecto as “Blog This” tool in FeedDemon (thanks, Alex!). This adds to the list of desktop blog publishing tools which FeedDemon already auto-detects:
If you’d prefer to post directly to your blog from FeedDemon, instructions are available for several blogging packages:

Quick Entry: FeedDemon
If you use FeedDemon, the RSS Newsreader you can now add items right to your blog with a “blog this” type of feature.
Here are the instructions on using FeedDemon with WordPress. I’ll be trying this soon.
Blogging Tools and Posting from Work
This isn’t a support question, but a feature request: When I’m reading blogs online I’ll often follow a link to a new url in the browser panel, and it’s that url — a news article someplace, another blogger’s post, whatever — that I want to blog. But there’s no easy way to blog directly from the browser panel as there is in the news item list. With MT, there is a slightly kludgey work-around, using a “Post to MT Weblog” link that’s set up in my favorites. If I want to put that item into a FeedDemon news bin, though, I’m out of luck.
Any chance of adding a right-click menu similar to the one in the news item reader to the browser panel?
Thanks. Otherwise, it’s a great piece of software.
Not sure if this helps, but you can drag-and-drop a link from the browser into a FeedDemon news bin.
