Any thoughts to updating this post since you are using Wordpress? Are all the other tools the same?

Michael,

Thanks for the great blogging tools. I have recently started my blog, now blogs, on Typepad and loving it. I love your blog, especially the insights on different management perspectives.

I checked out Ecto and downloaded the trial version and will try it out since I will traveling more this week and I am going to check out ImageWell since it takes awhile to load up Photoshop. I already use iStockphoto and love it.

Thanks for your insights into the blogging world and I love your template and quotes as well as your reading list.

Keep it up. Thanks.

If posting through Ecto, Ecto will do the image resizing for you. It’s image tools are quite decent – generating either embedded images (full size for your blog) or thumbnails to click on. Just add the image, double-click the image, and you’ll see lots of options. Size, embed/thumbnail, jpeg quality, saved presets, etc. Good stuff.

Clay,

This is awesome. I think WordPress is fine. As I understand it, it’s basically a version of TypePad that you can run on your own dedicated server.

Thanks also for your kind words.

Mike

We’re getting ready to lauch six blogs next week for our ministry. I looked at TypePad, but ended up with WordPress (someone else is doing the install and initial design). I know TypePad is good, but do you (or, does anyone) have any opinions about WordPress as a blogging app? Is there anything I should know before I take the plunge?

I’ll be using ecto and ImageWell per your recommendations. You didn’t mention it, but I’ll also use Snap after seeing it work here. Very cool. From Where I Sit is a “blog-role model” for us newbies.

As the (ahem) “CEO” of a very small non-profit ministry (let’s just say less than 10 employees), you have become one of a few trusted advisors for me. Thank you for taking time out from your (real) CEO duties to share what you’ve learned.

Your blog is one of the two reasons I chose Typepad two years ago when I started blogging.I figured if it was good enough for you, then it would work for me. Glad to hear you looked at others and still stuck w/Typepad. I’ll have to check out ecto.

The content on your blog is informative and challenging. A few posts (the weekly and monthly review) are print worthy, i.e., I need to print them in order to fully utlize and digest them.

Blog on! :)
