I've been on a warpath for about a year now, looking for leaner and meaner blogging tools. I have been particularly obsessed with the possibility of using one interface in order to post on several blogs, if not at once then at least as tightly in tandem as possible.

Ecto seemed to the that tool but it is not optimized for Drupal users. Meaning, I can post to a Drupal site but I would have to edit the post from within the site in order to add categories --and that's part of the reason why I have been looking for a remote or semi-remote solution.
