Blogger for Android

After a week or so of playing around with the new Blogger application for Android, I thought it would be useful for other bloggers if I wrote how well the application stands up in real use.


Well, basically it is very easy to use. You just type away and publish, but with that comes it's downfall at the moment. It just lacks the options you need, like being able to change the default font and font size as well as being able to change the picture size and position. What this means in real terms is when you get back to a computer you you have to edit your posts and sort them out. This isn't so bad if your are just out for the day but if you were on holiday for a couple of weeks and wanted to blog it could ruin the layout of your blog until you get home. These are limitations that need to be addressed in future versions of the application.

On the whole though if you want a quick Facebook entry to your blog and you avoid posting pictures for the moment it is a really useful tool. Editing the fonts and size of the fonts later is pain but it is worth it for the instant reporting of events.
