The problem with that is, apparently Blogger, WordPress, and other platforms have not kept up with the rapidly evolving world of apps. I can do limited writing and editing on the standard Web interface on Safari, but it does not want to add photos or hyperlinks. Blogger has an app for iPad, but again the functionality is very limited. So this morning I spent the $2.99 and downloaded BlogPress (thank goodness apps are cheap). It has tools to insert HTML so you don't have to write your own, and there is a tool to upload photos that are stored on the iPad. Apparently if I want to add a photo from Picasa I have to copy the location and insert the proper HTML. The downside is, there is no WYSIWYG interface, no previews. And when I went back and tried to complete a draft of a post I am working on, for some reason I could not start typing.
My prediction is that by the end of 2012 someone will have come up with an app that solves these issues. After all, if we can put a man on the moon...
Now for a test photo:

Anything to keep you in the blogging game!
Actually, I understand apps are on the way out. The new mechanism for doing whatever it is they do is someting called mobile web. Maybe Wordpress is ahead of the curve and holding out for the future.
FC- you guessed it! :)
