Blog Touch Pro

I started a blog over six years ago. At that time, everything was done using a laptop. But things have changed. Now I use my iPad and iPhone for everything and rarely use a laptop unless it is absolutely necessary. So in order to continue updating my daily photo blog - even when we are out of town -  I have been using the blogger app to manage it. It's just so much more convenient and easy to use. But every time iOS updates come around, many of the apps don't get updated to sync with the new requirements. And that's exactly what happened to my blogger app. I've been using safari to write the blog, then adding the photos from my iPhone. I thought there had to be something better out there. So I started looking around for an app replacement and came across Blog Touch Pro. The reviews were mixed, but I thought I would give it a try out of desperation. I didn't want to give up on the last many years work and blog entries. Plus, it's sort of a hobby now and gives me an opportunity to stay sharp! So it's been a couple of weeks and I have to say I am very happy with the new app. But I have not updated my phone or iPad to iOS 11. Let's hope it stays in sync for awhile. I can't imagine going back to a laptop. If that's the case, then the blog may end - and I wouldn't be very happy about that. 

Thanks DC Blogs - A World View

Every once in a while my blog post gets noted by DC Blogs. I can always tell because the statistics for the day increase significantly. I really appreciate that someone notices! It got me thinking that I started LIT's Living on Capitol Hill(Hell)!? almost three years ago and I haven't missed a day. And LIT has become my signature logo for my Etsy, Facebook, Zazzle, Fine Art America, and personal websites. It takes a lot of time, observations and perseverance. What I find really interesting is the sheer breadth this thing takes. The map tells the story. Every one of those dots represents someone who took the time to notice and/or read an entry. Now it's past 36,000 views and counting. As long as I enjoy doing it I'll keep at it. I've always loved gadgets and writing and painting and taking pictures. And these modes of communication make it so much easier to do all of it.
