In the spirit of trying to keep writing something new, more often, I've tried to find an app for my iPhone which can easily post, view, and edit things over here on my Blogger-hosted blog. You'd think that this would be something that is supported by umpteen bazillion apps, but it surprisingly is not.
So far, I've tried two: BlogWriter and Blogger+, with mixed results.
BlogWriter flat-out didn't work as advertised. It didn't work at all. Their support essentially turned me away after hearing that I had a custom domain, and instructed me to ask Apple for a refund. (Yikes, and good luck!)
Blogger+ did not work at first, but so far I've been getting pretty good responses from them. They helped me get things going on a test blog, which now does actually work successfully. Turns out one has to create a Picasa web album linked to the blog before things can be properly registered. (Odd, but OK...)
On the plus side, they're even looking into why things wouldn't work with the redirect offered by the custom domain names. So, good on them! It makes me feel a bit bad that my forum posting is prominently displayed on their app's front page...
So, I think I'll wait this one out a few days before posting a review for the app. I really think that having easy access to the posting is what will increase my posting volume!
