Blogger can be so difficult

I had the smart idea today to attempt to try blogging from my mobile. I have been spendingso much more time at work and as a result I haven't had anywhere near the opportunity to type anything up as I did during term time. However I am still getting ideas in the middle of the day and have no way of acting on them. So I thought blogger mobile was a good solution. I was so wrong.

The first thing I did was attempt to get blogger mobile set up on my phone. Sounds easy enough. After a few minutes of reading I realised that was not the case. To set up blogger mobile and link it to my current blog I needed to be in front of my computer to fuss about was login details and claim codes. So I very quickly gave up on that solution. 

The second thing I tried was to use my phones browser to blog via blogger.com.  Nothing on the site wanted to work for me. All link lead to nowhere and even once I got the post new post option to work practically all I could do was type up the body of the post. It would let me alter option, add a title or add anything else. Then, to add insult, I went to publish the post and it disappeared into a site meltdown; I wasn't even allowed to save it as a draft!

My final solution was to dispense with Blogger altogether. I signed into hotmail and used my email account to write this post. It was saved and sent with no hassle. I know what I'm relying on from now on. Not Blogger Mobile :)
