BlogTouch Pro

As a cruise blogger, I enjoy sharing our adventures as well as pictures.  Many know it takes time to sort through the many pictures I have taken and then to spend time writing about our travels.  It used to be on most sea days, I could easily spend an hour or two "blogging" and burn through our Internet minutes on the ship.  

Over the years, I have tried to streamline that process through gadgets (laptops, smartphones, tablets, etc) and various software apps.  Overtime, the process gets shortened and well I have more time to enjoy our adventures.  The only thing that remains constant has been the ship's Internet speed.  It's just downright slow.  

When I find a decent software application or product I tend to try out all of it's features.  When it exceeds my expectations I can't help but share my experiences.  This post is dedicated to this wonderful application and I will include some screenshots.

This screen shows a new post where you can add a title and labels.  You tap into the body of the post to start typing.  You can see menu bar is quite extensive and you can basically be very creative with your blog posts.  Here I am demonstrating a format option where I can type on the right side of my picture.  

The following screen shots show what each of the icons can do:

 

 

When you have several blog entries posted, you can easily change the listing.  This custom listing is only used with this app.  It's an easier way to review previous posts or select certain ones (by label, date created, date modified, etc) I might want to look at.  This will sure help me when I need to go back to a specific date or port and do updates to the post or add missing pictures.  

Here's what my cruising blog looks like.  On the left side is my past posts/entries.  On the right side is the post I've selected:

 

 

While I have a blog entry shown, I can do several things to this post.  In this screen shot you can see the menu selections I have available.  One of the most helpful feature is to "View Post".  This will open a window that will show me what my current post looks like at my site.    This is helpful to show if my pictures are too large or the text is not correct.

Depending on what screen I'm in (publish, draft, offline) the menu will give me different selections.
