I'm just hearing about Ecto now. It is a stand alone weblogging application. So instead of posting your blog through a tiny textarea box inside your browser, Ecto gives you a sort of word processing like program with a much richer set of formatting and spell check features. It also does image uploads, and can even crop and resize images. Looks like a pretty slick package. And lots of integration on OS X (it integrates with iPhoto for instance.) Here are some screen shots.

And now there is a Windows version as well.

I'll keep my eye on this, but I don't think it is something I would pay for. Neat idea though.
