Offline Blogging Tool?

December 19th 2006 15:00
I'd like to be able to post to my Orble blog with an offline composition tool like Ecto. I already use this very successfully with my WordPress-based blogs. How can I set this up for use with Orble? Anyone know?

Hi Maria

I don't think this is possible at the moment, as Ecto does not support the custom markup we use on Orble. However, I'll point Jon in the direction of this post and see what he has to say on the matter.

Cheers
Jay

Thanks very much. I sure do appreciate that.

Also, is there any way to increase the font size of the comments on posts? They're tiny on my computer (a Mac running Firefox) and the gray color makes them even tougher to read. I don't want to fiddle with the font size in Firefox prefs, because I don't want to change all pages I view. Can you help? Thanks.

I'll see what I can do - in exchange for a ride in your helicopter

You show up in Wickenburg and that can be arranged.

Wicked! Okay just for you I have added a Comment Font Size option on the Themes > Advanced Settings page. I reckon a setting of 2/3 should be big enough?

I went to the US on holiday a couple of years ago - four mates and I toured the Southwest. We started in Vegas (baby) then drove to the Grand Canyon (wow), Zion (wow), Death Valley (hot), Yosemite (wow), San Francisco (bosh) and down the West coast to Los Angeles (smog).

I see Wickenburg is a bit of a trek from the GC - do you still fly up there? Or do you just fly around towards the bottom of the Colorado River? I'd love to fly over the GC - that'd be awesome!

Anyway - let me know if you have any more problems with the comments stuff.

I didn't do a thing and it's bigger already. Thanks! I can read it!

I used to fly over the Grand Canyon for one of the tour operators there. I can't do it anymore -- I need a special permit I can't get. So I fly around pretty much the rest of the state. Lake Powell is pretty cool and a cruise up the Colorado River from Lake Havasu to Laughlin, low-level is kick-butt.
