HI Guys....

Just wanted to ask how people blog when they are on the move. I have an Iphone and I'm having trouble finding an app to update my blog when I am away from my computer. I am on blogger.

Do you know of any apps for blogger, or do you use another blog host which has its own app?

Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the quick reply...

It does look good!!!! I'll have a real look at it.

I know I am being a bit tight here but do you know of any free apps?

Do you blog on the move?

I have an iPhone and begrudge paying anything myself. I think we're spoiled. We don't want to pay $3 for something that probably would have cost $200 a few years ago, and we would have paid it.

That being said, believe it or not I don't blog from my iPhone. I use WordPress which probably has it's own apps.

There is a blogging platform made specifically for blogging on the move. I was looking at it a few days ago and it looked terrific. It is free, like Blogger, but designed to work with mobile phones, especially the iPhone.

But, I'm ashamed to say I can't remember the name.  ::) I will try to check my browser history and post a link here.

I haven't been on blogger in ages but I know for wordpress there are plugins that are for the iphone.  The other option is to blog via email.

From a search on the iPhone there is BlogWriter which has a free version and a paid version which is 60% off right now selling for $1.99.

Reviews go from "It's great" to "It sucks" so I don't know...

Apparently the main difference between free and paid is that free does not handle pictures. Compatible with both Blogger and WordPress as well as some others.
