Problems with blogging from an iPad

Well, Blogger fixed something. Safari (on the iPad) will let me type in the Compose tab of a new post now.

I am a little bummed that Apple doesn't support flash. I can't use that cool music player (I forget the name) and the video embedding tool isn't working.

The image tool doesn't work the same either. You can upload an image with a URL, but not directly from the iPad. Just checked Photobucket and I can't upload from the iPad to that! This kinda sucks.

There is a 30 dollar kit you can get to pull images from a digital camera. If I do that, I would still have to use Blogpress to post them. If I wanted to use an image with a URL, I would have to upload it from a different computer.

The mobile YouTube site doesn't give you the HTML to put a video in a blog post either.

I'll have to do some research. There's gotta be an effective way to blog from an iPad and included videos & images besides ones taken with the iPad. Does anyone have any suggestions?

  1. Oh, you may have answered my earlier question. I do have the converter thingy to load photos from my camera to my ipad but haven't tried that yet. I don't have any suggestions, but I'm eager to hear what you find out.

  2. Yeah, wish I could help. I am guessing these issues will be fixed at some point with apps or kits or what have you.

  3. Hi, I see that you are blogging with your IPad and I was wondering if you have a problem editing an old message while using your iPad. When I try editing with my iPad I only see the HTML version of my messages. Do you have the same problem?
