Blogwriter iPhone App
So I’m checking this tool out today. Expect some opinionated comments (as usual)
So I started this blog in the Blogwriter iPhone app and afterwards, I went to the website on my PC and entered several comments and even though I refreshed the posts on my iPhone, I can’t see those edits in Blogwriter. So I went back to the Blogwriter and just typed another paragraph and as I suspected, it wiped out the edits I did on my PC to the blog. I guess this makes sense because its a ‘Blog Writer’ not a ‘Blog Reader/Writer’, but you really have to be careful if you’re in the habit of starting a blog on the iPhone, then adding to it later from the PC. I guess the paradigm is that once you post a blog, it should never change except for adding comments.
Unfortunately, you do kind of need to go back and forth between the iPhone and the PC because when you put a picture in your blog from the iPhone, the smallest you can set it at is 640 x 480?? That’s huge when you come in and look at it on a PC. It looks fine on the iPhone but hideous in a PC browser. Maybe I’m missing something, I haven’t googled the forums on any of this.
Another downside is that there is no landscape mode (BOO). So, OK, off to the RSS feed reader. I posted a couple comments on this blog and it works OK, the bummer is that I need to know the RSS feed URL. It seems that you would be able to browse and select a blog.
Anyway, I guess the app is okay for quick little blurbs, I mean, I’ll use it from time to time and it only cost $1.99 so what the heck.
