Using Ecto 3 for blogging with Flux CMS

As the blog plugin of Flux CMS supports the MT Weblog API, you may want to use a desktop client for blogging.

The access point URL is http://yourdomain.com/blog/xmlrpc.xml (replacing "yourdomain.com" with the url of your Flux CMS...)

ECTO is a great desktop blogging client, which utilises a lot of the potential of that API. One of the features is a preview pane, where you can immediatly see, how your post will look like on the webpage.

To make it really look like your page, you have to adjust the template. Go to "Settings" -> "Editing" -> "Viewer" and then put this html into it. Adjust the link to your CSS accordingly.

Image upload: It makes sense to keep some sort of order with the files you upload to your server. I recommend adjusting the path in image upload to /files/images/blog/

Also take a look at your scaling and thumbnail settings. A typical width is 480px.

mdworker sending CPU through the roof

mdworker (visible in Activity Monitor) is the Spotlight indexing process (active even though the process is not visible in the spotlight menu).

We had a situation where movie files from a mobile phone (file ending .3gp) caused problems, as the indexer didn't seem to get past them. Using up 99% and more percent CPU which caused the fan to go crazy. Removing the files resolved this CPU madness.

You may find which files could be the problem if in Activity Monitor you click on the mdworker process and the click "inspect" in the menu, then choose "Open Files and Ports".
