Using my iPad to create a blog post

Hi everyone -- I am looking2live's husband and guest blogger today. Recently, I bought two iPad's - one for me and one for looking2live. Our plan is to use the iPad's to essentially replace our laptops when on the road.

One of looking2live's main uses of her iPad will be blogging of course. So, I am experimenting with how best to do a blog post including photos using only the iPad.

Here's the equipment (shown below):
* an Ipad
* the camera connector kit to connect camera to iPad
* camera or iphone for taking pictures




Software:
* Either Pages or BlogPress to compose the post. For this post, I am using BlogPress since I hope to avoid having to compose on Pages and then import to the blogger interface in Safari.
* (optional) Photogene for photo editing on the iPad. I actually used Photogene for this post to rotate the picture 90 degrees. It was very easy to use.

Well, so far, BlogPress is a piece of cake. It is dead simple to embed a photo from the iPad's photo library.

Now, let's try to publish and see what happens. Hope iPad bloggers will find this little post useful. I will also try the Pages/Safari/Blogger tango soon.
