Hello fellow bloggers. This is a common scene in California when the State Flowers are in bloom. California Poppies are beautiful and bright golden orange. With the rain we have been having, the fields are full of them. This photo is from Google and not my camera.
I have a question for anyone who uses an iPad to create a blog post. I have an iPad Air Retina and I love it. I write my blog post using Safari and post to Blogger, but when I try to insert a photo from my iPad photo gallery I am unable to do so. I hesitate to post a words only blog as I feel pictures bring the words to life and make it so much more enjoyable to read what is being shared.
I am NOT technical at all even though I have researched this issue. I believe the consensus from what I read is that I must download an app for the iPad from iTunes. These are the suggested apps: Wordpress, Tumbler, Posts, Blogpress and Blogsy. All are free except Blogsy is just under $5. I am not concerned about the cost...it is the learning curve I will have, which is easiest?.
Do any of you have any experience with this? Do you have any insight for me? Any advice or words of wisdom? I would really like to hear your success stories and suggestions.
I really love the convenience of my iPad but I don't know Mac. My old desktop and Mr. C's laptop/notebook that I borrow are all PCs. I manage just fine with Internet Explorer and Blogger with inserting photos and such on the PC. I merely want the added convenience of using my iPad when I want or need to.
Thank you very much. I hope you are all enjoying the last of March with Creative Bliss...
I have a Nexus which I love, but admit that I have never posted a blog with it. I must admit that I am not great with apps. I'll come back and see if anyone gives you advice. I'm nosey that way, lol.

poppies look lovely sorry not a clue what you are asking re ipads hope someone will come up with the answers for you
ReplyDeleteI don't post from my iPad often, but I have been able to do it. When you set up a new post in Blogger, tap inside the post to indicate photo placement, then tap the camera icon on the top right. You will be able to access your photos, and all you have to do is double tap to add the photo to your post.
ReplyDeleteI hope this works for you! I love the picture of the poppies!
I will be interested to see what people think because I, unfortunately, have no clue either.
ReplyDeleteI`m sorry my dear, I have no Ipad, and don`t know anything about it. I too am not technical, Sherry :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope you find some help, and wishes you a wonderful weekend. Sunshine hugs, from Dorthe
The wildflowers are gorgeous right now.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I am no help with techy issues.
I know what you mean because yesterday I used my Sinotec tablet to write my blog and the only way I could add a photo was to take a photo that went directly into the blog post. Hmmm. I'm used to taking a photo with my camera, transferring it to my PC and then editing it before using it in the blog. Diane seems to have the answers for you, try it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful field of poppies :) I have an iPad but I don't use it to post to my blog...I only use my laptop. I'm sorry I couldn't help :( Good luck my friend. Happy April 1st!! Have a great weekend!! Big hugs :)

I only have Android so no help here..but I think someone did offer a suggestion. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poppies! I wish I could answer your iPad question. I have an iPad mini and cannot use it to blog. It will only allow me to access the upper portion of a page when I do try. It refuses to scroll down. I wish you luck with using yours!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see the poppies in bloom in California someday! Sorry I can't help you. I hop onto my (yuck) laptop to post.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are gorgeous! I don't blog from my iPad so no help from me.
ReplyDeleteI,too, luv the poppies. It seems every device is different and has its own tricks. I wish there was a simple generic answer to them all. sorry!
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry. You know that you could take classes for free at any apple store near you. Just sign up through there website. They are usually 1 to 1 and a half hours. Hope this helps. Ana
ReplyDeleteI have an ipad mini and use it to blog when we travel but it's been a long time! I got the Blogger app from the iTunes store and post the photos through that. They seem to go on well enough - it's dealing with the text etc. that gives me grief - best of luck with yours!
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely no help to you on this one as I have neither an I-pad, NOR an I-phone. Love the photo though, my friend! Happy April!
ReplyDeleteSherry--
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know if you have this figured out. I've never blogged from my iPad- but it sure would be nice to do so. So handy when traveling too. Fingers crossed for you!!
