things change

I’ve installed BlogPad Pro (£2.99 in the UK) on my iPad. It’s an app for maintaining a WordPress blog, and this is a first attempt at a post. It’s going to contain a bit of over-the-top formatting!

I’ve inserted this thumbnail image – the text is behaving, which is  good! Sometimes editing the image settings doesn’t work, but having another go seems to work ok.

First impressions!

1. Of course ALL editing on the iPad is a pain compared to a proper keyboard! I don’t like that I can’t stretch the screen when editing markup or html in order to increase the size of the text. The text is just too small.
2. You can insert images but not galleries, which is a problem for me.
3. I’ve had some fast responses to emails to the developers. A suggested reinstall fixed a problem. Another email pointed out how to access the WordPress dashboard to deal with the galleries issue.
4. I managed to overwrite a second post on this subject with (null), which is a little concerning. I’ll keep an eye on it.
5. Overall it’s a very nice app and I’m hoping to use it to do more blogging from the iPad.
