Stolen from here, mostly because its a publicly editable wiki. I had to edit the page and revert a bunch of spammed changes to find anything useful!

Setting up Ecto

1. If you get the account creation wizard the first time you run ecto, just click cancel and dismiss the following error.
2. Click “Add” in the Account Manager.
3. Enter your site’s URL when prompted. Example: http://myweblog.com
4. ecto will attempt to get information about your weblog, but you’ll need to clarify a few things when it’s done as such
   System Other (select API)
   API Movable Type
5. The Access Point should be the same thing as your URL, but add /xmlrpc/api. Example: http://myweblog.com/xmlrpc/api
6. Click ‘Next’ and then enter your username and password (the same info you use to log in to the SimpleLog admin section).
7. Enter anything for the Profile Name. ecto will get your blog information and then ask you a few questions. UNCHECK ALL BOXES and click ‘Next’. Click ‘Finish’ and ecto will get all of your entries.

If you are asked which mode you want to edit in by default, you should choose HTML. You can also set this via the Preferences.

You can now edit, delete and post from ecto!

BlogThis

The Wiki also has info for using Flickr’s BlogThis command. You can find the original page here. Again, I’ve reproduced the current contents below:

1. Visit http://flickr.com/account
2. Click the Your blogs link in the Blogging section
3. Click Set up your blog
4. choose MetaWeblogAPI Enabled Blog when asked which kind of weblog you have and click Next
5. Enter your site’s URL plus /xmlrpc/api for your API Endpoint example: http://myweblog.com/xmlrpc/api
6. Enter your username and password (the same info you use to log in to the SimpleLog admin section), and click Next
7. On the next page, confirm details and then click “All Done”

You can now choose a custom posting template and start posting from Flickr by clicking the “Blog This” button on your photos.
