Movable Type

I don't like the default posting interface for Movable Type, and I was wondering if anyone reading this could recommend a posting interface which runs under MS Windows. (The only recommendation I have received so far is for Ecto, which is MacOSX and thus not particularly useful for me.)

Update: Ecto is available for Windows. I am investigating. Thanks, [livejournal.com profile] whumpdotcom.

3.2 is supposed to have a new interface that lets you pimp this out however you like. See here (http://www.sixapart.com/pronet/weblog/2005/08/supercustomize.html) on pronet for details...

Um, there is a version of Ecto for Windows (http://ecto.kung-foo.tv/archives/001033.php).

So there is! Thank you.

The fact that it works as a front-end for both MT and LJ tempts me strongly.

I always used Zempt on Windows: http://www.zempt.com/

I don't know whether it's up to date or not, though.

Following Ginger's lead, as I so often do, I also use Zempt. It's generally a happier interface for posting new stuff. For re-editing old stuff, I usually go to MT, though.
