I’ve used Streetcards.com, I know Renegade Writer Linda Formichelli has, and a couple of people I met at SOBCon08 did, too, and the reviews have been fantastic across the board.

Where do you get your business cards printed?

Testing a New Offline Blog Editor: Ecto

www.inkthinkerblog.com — I’ve been using Qumana, which is a free offline blog editor for Mac, but I’ve been told that the tagging kind of sucks. The thing is, I hate MarsEdit, which everyone else seems to love and which also costs like $30. Enter Ecto. It’s only $17.95, and I’m currently in the 21-day trial period to see if I like it.

So far, I like the simple interface and the fact that I can do things like adding bold and italic without having to code them myself. If there’s a way to do that in MarsEdit, it escaped me.

Bulleted lists are also

  • Easy,
  • Fast, and
  • Code free

And block quotes seem to be

Easy as pie.

So far, so good.

I love that there are checkbox lists of both tags and categories, so it’s easy to find them and add them to my post. Ecto, I think I love you. Let’s see how I feel in a week or two.

What offline blog editor do you use, if any, and why? If you don’t use an offline blog editor, why not?

I-O-U Lots of Posts!

www.inkthinkerblog.com — I got an e-mail the other day from a colleague asking, “Where’s Kristen?”

The short answer is that I’m swamped and I’ve been feeling under the weather for some time now, first with a cough that wouldn’t quit and later with the stomach virus or SOMETHING that wouldn’t end, leaving me cranky and skinny as I lived on ginger ale for a few weeks. Good times.

BUT! I’m starting to feel better, which is nice, and I have all kinds of exciting changes to report on. As a quick summary:

  • I did go ahead and hire that assistant I’d been wanting, and it’s been great.
  • I formed an LLC to replace my sole proprietorship, Kristen King Freelancing. I am now Inkthinker Communications, LLC, and I’m working on a new website and general rebranding.
  • I got lovely new business cards, of which I will post a photo soon.
  • I’ve been working on a bunch of cool and interesting projects.
  • I was elected to the Board of Directors for Washington Independent Writers, which as of July 1 is now American Independent Writers. How cool is that?
  • Inkthinker got plugged on ABC.com (!!!).

Which is a great segue into why I can’t post more now: I’m on my way to my first Board meeting. But look for more regular updates, hopefully starting later this week.

Thanks for hanging in there with me!

– Kristen
