    Hi all-

    I've recently struck a deal with someone to co-manage a new blog. He does content; I'm handling the backend. Got it all set up on WP yesterday.

    The problem is -- he's on a Mac; I'm on Windows. I installed the Editor Monkey plugin, trying to get him a user friendly interface. But it doesn't seem to be working real well.

    What's the best solution? Should I just put him on Ecto?

    I use Ecto on my Mac to manage a few WP sites. Ecto is great and works well. It is not a universal binary application yet, and Ecto seems to run slower under Rosetta than other PPC applications if your partner has one of the new Intel macs.

    The tools built into WP will work well from the Firefox browser, but not so well under Safari. So if he is using Safari, have him give Firefox a try. If that doesn't work well enough for his needs then point him to Ecto.

    What's wrong with the built in WP interface? Works great in Firefox.
