I have spent three days researching various options for posting to my blog with my new iPad. Most of what I have read suggests that I will need a text editor and an external keyboard to type and format text and an app to make it all work.. I don't WANT an external keyboard, and I imagine that I can format text just fine without a separate editor, and I definitely DO need an app for importing photos. I downloaded Blogsy, the app that has the best reviews online, and that is what I am using to produce this post.
The most difficult part of this learning curve has been figuring out how best to add images to a post. The above photo of Ruby was first uploaded to Flickr via the mobile FlickrStackr app. Doing that allowed me to drag and drop the photo into this post. It may not be perfect yet ... But it's a start.
Stay tuned to see if I can refine this process. I'm going to publish this now ... wish me luck.
(edited to add) Now I'm going to try to edit this post after publishing it. I cannot figure out how, or if, I can do this in Blogsy ... So I am using the regular Blogger editing window without the app. In the edit window like this, the photo above is showing up as a long, long link URL (which makes sense, since Blogsy has to use images that reside on the web). For the first time this week, I feel confident that I can take this iPad with me to Alaska and blog and share at least a portion of what we see and do there. I'm not quite jumping up and down and clapping yet, but I'm close.
*** edited again***. YAY IT WORKED!!!!! Now I'm clapping!!
