3rd party blog editors – can anyone recommend a good one?
-
I’m sure there are plenty of us who want to continue uploading quantities of individual jpgs into our blogs? Although the image gallery link is a neat idea and a useful addition to wp, it does not suit every blog and it’s annoying that normal jpg upload now takes so many more actions in the new version!
It seems that macro software records keystrokes, which doesn’t work with blog software. So maybe an independent blog editor would do the job?
There seem to be quite a few 3rd party blog editors on the market. Surely someone on wordpress uses one that’s intuitive and is an easier way to load images to our blogs?
Can you recommend one that’s good for uploading jpgs?

Thanks for recommendation.
Sorry, I should have mentioned I need a Mac one. But I think it’s a good idea to add comments about 3rd party offline editors so other wordpress users can get ideas about how to make their blogging experiences easier.
I have many jpgs to upload; even batch uploading by folder and then inserting individual jpgs from media library still involves scrolling, selecting image size, etc etc. My hand’s gonna freeze after 100 jpgs and my eyes are going to hurt from concentrating on scrolling down each time, and then selecting full size from a box requiring individual selection. It is definitely not user-friendly.
I’ve just downloaded 3rd party image editor called ecto which is mac compatible. Only been playing with it for 10 minutes, but have easily added jpgs – each image upload takes only 4 ACTIONS with no scrolling down page. And that includes downloading each image to a new wordpress post.
I’ve not yet seen how to load directly to a page; but easy enough so far to copy the post into a page.
Not sure why I couldn’t find posts on wordpress forum about how to speed up tasks like this. Maybe i used the wrong search terms?
But I’m happy that I’ve now discovered the existence of offline blog editors.

Google turned up: 15 alternatives to your boring blog editor. Don’t know if any of them work for Mac, the first few are for windows — which is what I use.
