iPad 2 Test Post from Blogsy

Elyse's Quilt

This is just a test post to see how the Blogsy app works and to try and optimize it before I leave home. The iPad 2 is a great, portable device, but there is a learning curve getting it to do the things I've done on my laptop when I travel. Blogging is one of those things....and Blogger doesn't have it's own app, so Blogsy seems to be the most popular option.

Including photos in the post is a little tricky....the top photo is inserted through Picasa using the MyPics HD app*. It worked fine once I had taken it from my laptop, stuck it in my Dropbox, uploaded it to my iPad photo albums and then uploaded that to the Picasa app :)

When I'm traveling, I'll just upload directly to the iPad, so I won't need to do that entire song and dance.....(*Turns out this app is the only that's going to work for me as I don't believe there's an easy way to upload from the photo program on the iPad without going through a third party app. Please let me know if I'm wrong.)

The final step is going to see how it looks in Blogger when it's posted....so bear with me, please. Here goes....

Addendum: Seems like it works pretty well, fairly intuitive. Has some features I like better than Blogger, i.e., continuous scaling for photos. The downside, you can't position photos in anything but a list fashion, no side by side. I haven't tried to insert a link or video yet. That's next....
