This is a test of posting directly to Blogger by signing into Blogger site with Safari on iPad and typing into the text field.
In order to type in the text field of the Blogger post, you must select the HTML tab.
To post a photo here in this blog post required that i have the URL of a photo that was already stored on a photo site such as PhotoBucket.
Holding down the home and upper right hand buttons on my iPad I took the screen print of the window that appears when one selects the picture icon in the post editor of Blogger. This screen print was saved to my album on my iPad. I then used the PhotoBucket app for iPad to select that photo and upload to PhotoBucket. From that same app I was able to obtain the URL for that photo located on PhotoBucket.
I then selected the image icon from the Blogger HTML tab choices and pasted the URL for the photo into the box on the right-side. I then clicked on Upload and the HTML code for that image appeared in my post text box.
Previewing the post I was able to see the photo I wanted seen in my blog. I was able to edit my post directly in Safari using the HTML tab and links to photos from Photobucket app for iPad.
Note: I did find that when I published the photo the size exceeded my margins and I had to adjust the photo HTML size code by one-third.
I have not tried any specific apps for iPad that might be easier to use for non- techies, but understand that there maybe one that would work.
I was also successful in tagging the post with appropriate categories, editing the post from my iPad and also adding HTML codes for bolding text.
PS. I did this all while in bed enjoying the playoff football game. :-) now that is what I call multitasking.
