This photograph is a test, which thus far I rate as successful! Why? Because I downloaded the picture to my iPad and composed this short essay on the tablet and published it accordingly. For a Luddite like me this something of an accomplishment, and thanks are due also to my wife.
The way I did this was to download the Photo Log App(lication) for two dollars and through that I downloaded the picture and published all in one on Blogger. The sudden appearance on the blog of a photo unaccompanied by text was a bit disconcerting but this is nearly days yet and I know I can move out of my comfort zone and use the tablet to make this page more immediate, and that is my intent.
The iPad 1 is a remarkable thing but it is my hopet to make best use of it to improve my ability to take and download pictures and text at will. This is just the first tentative step. I have much to learn and beg your indulgence as I study. For instance: how to center the picture...

If you sign up for Mobile Me - make sure to PAY for the app; if you load a bunch of stuff up to the cloud - it all goes away when your free trial expires. She lost her calendar and all her contacts while we were in transit.

I fear the technology but I am trying to get woth it. My new business cards look excellent too. I am ready to go mobile!
Well done you'll become a techy genius yet! :D
Though it might not meet the approval of your collectivist tendencies there's an app called Blogsy that works wonderfully for Blogger.

Mike- Thank you for the tip. I am going into town to try mobile blogging.
My "collectivist tendencies"?
I am not a kibbutznick but I do think we all do better when we all do better.And far too many people are not doing as well as my wife and I are, not with us still having jobs and and some form of health insurance and enouigh education to fight the health insurance mafia.
What that has to do with iPad blogging I'm sure I don't have a clue.
I meant no personal offense. It just seems, at times, that you are against the profit motive and are in favor of nationalizing anything that has to do with the "public interest." I agree that we all do better when WE ALL do better, but as you are no doubt aware, markets create an unequal distribution of wealth. Socialism creates an equal distribution of misery.
What this has to do with iPad blogging? Nothing, really, except I don't want to hear you complain about the $$ spent on apps. It is HIGHLY addictive after all.
At the risk of flogging a dead horse let me restate my position for those that have trouble understanding it. I think intellectual property rights should be sacrosanct whether in print or electronically. Is that clear enough?
Balancing the national budget on the backs of the lower classes while cutting taxes to the wealthy is an abomination. That the middle and lower classes applaud these actions is a measure of how well propaganda works.
That i am opposed to inflicting one sided economic pain should be to my credit. That i am mocked for it speaks to my earlier point.
