So I'm sat here testing out the new TypePad iPhone app that's available free from the new iTunes app store... Well, Do iPod uses the typepad blogging platform, so this message was posted using my iPhone. It's a nice tool. Not great for me personally. But not at all bad.
*EDITED USING A PC*
So I thought I'd give a more extensive review of the TypePad iPhone App, but I'm not gonna type it all up on the iPhone. In fact that really sums up the experience for me. While the TypePad iPhone App may not be of great use to full time desk top blogger, it really is an incredible tool for the 'mobile blogger' or 'family blogger'.
Setting it up was easy. The first time I started it up, it asked me for my username password. Once up and running it has 3 main features...
'Create a Post' This worked very well. I love that fact that it had all of my blog categories listed and I could select multiple categories. A very nice touch. I can set the title of the post, type away at the main text of the post and add a photo. Publishing the article took about 30 seconds, and you get a pop up confirmation that lets you go straight to your published article.
'Take a Photo' Again flawless. Select the take a photo feature and it automatically starts up the iPhone camera. Take the picture, move and scale and then select use 'use photo'. It saves the photo and then you select which of your blog catagories your want the photo posted to. Add some text and select submit. Moments later the photo is up on your blog.
'Add a Photo' Works much in the same way as take a photo, but it allows you to broswer through your iphone camera roll and select individual or multiple photos to post to your blog.
Other Nice Touches - If you have multiple blogs on your account, you can easily select to which blog you want to post. - You can set it up to post your Twitters.
