Why Not Blog On An iPad?

I've just completed reading a blog posted by a gentleman by the name of Brett Kelly (found here: http://tinyurl.com/3zfsh7d ) which should be noted was posted on 11 February 2011, well over a year ago, regarding issues the gentleman has had while writing, and publishing blogs utilizing an iPad. Mr. Kelly's headache's seem to stem from using the wordpress app, which, unfortunately I have no experience with.

I would, however, recommend to Mr. Kelly to try something a bit different. Not long after acquiring my iPad 2, I began experimenting with an app called Blogsy (found in the App store under that name). After getting the hang of it, I see no reason why an amateur, or even a professional blogger wouldn't have a full experience with this app.

Blogsy allows for plenty of tools, such as immediate access to Photos, YouTube, Flickr, plus a built in Google search engine all at your finger tips.

Many of the editing features are the same as can be found on most word editing programs, such as Microsoft Word, Wordpad, or Open Office. Paragraph layout, font size and design are all available.

The only headaches I've had have been on live and learn cases, as many of the features I've bragged about don't seem to be very intuitive.

Overall, however, for a blogger on most levels, I could see this app being very useful.

I should also point out, that this blog was written on an iPad, utilizing a bluetooth keyboard, all while working on a gate.

The Chronicles of Screwing Up

Well this particular entry will be short, sweet, and to the point; due to the idea of trying to post a blog at four in the morning, on an iPad no less, two of my previous entries have been irreversibly deleted. Lovely, just lovely.
