Something New

Since I'm sick and can't do much of anything, I've been checking out apps for the new phone. I have to say, so far I'm really pleased with the phone, and I've certainly gotten more use out of it than I got out of all of my previous phones combined. But back to the apps.


I've downloaded quite a few wallpapers that I enjoy, and I've ended up trying several that I didn't like. They're easy to uninstall, so it's fun to be able to test them out. I finally started trying out some other apps, one of which is the Blogger app. I just downloaded it and figured I'd give it a test run. There were seriously mixed reviews, with many people seeming very unhappy with the app. There were enough good reviews to tempt me, so here we are, testing the waters.


I've just tried adding a picture, but it's not really showing me if it's going to work, or where it's going to insert it. It will be a mystery until I've published the entry!


I don't really have too much else to say at the moment, as my intent was mainly to test out this app. Perhaps I'll do another entry later talking about my favourite apps to date. Now I am going to see how well this posts. Have an awesome night, everyone!




EDIT:


It was not being friendly about editing once I had published the post. I can't find a way to view and edit code either. For now, I'm just testing to see if the edit works.



EDIT #2:


The first edit worked, but I'm not thrilled with the app. I don't have the option to see or edit HTML code, and I cannot choose the picture placement. I guess the application could be somewhat useful for a quick post, but I don't see why anyone would want to bother with it when they could just go to their blog on their browser, and post with full functionality. I'll be uninstalling the app right away - it's definitely not for me.


EDIT #3:


Okay, I'm laughing at myself now. I should have tried going through the browswer before shooting my mouth off! It's WAY too tiny on the phone screen to be able to edit - at least it was when I went in just now. I'll have to play around some more, but if I can't get the pages to be significantly larger, then I can see where I would need a blogger application to blog from the phone. Mind you, I probably would never bother with that - I'd just wait and do it when I got home and could use the computer. :)


And yes, I did the last two edits (and moved the picture) on my computer. I also noticed one other thing I'm not thrilled with - the formatting from the app is atrocious. It put a lot of extra spaces in between paragraphs, and even though I remove them with each edit, it doesn't take them out. I've tried again one last time here, so I'll see what happens. But that's enough for me tonight - sleep well, everyone!
