first post using Blogger application on Motorola Xoom

Google's Blogger app lets user choose among the accounts that have been recorded the one that will be used, then among all the blogs that have been recorded on the account, the one on which the post will be done. Pretty simple and direct.
By the way, Xoom's virtual keyboard (HoneyComb) is a real pleasure to use...
Blogger app let's you embed a picture from the album or just taken using the camera.
Labels can be added, but have to be entered as text : there's no completion when the first letters have been entered ...

have you blogged from your XOOM since?

@moonflowerdragon :

No I don't.

I usually do a lot of copy/paste in my posts (links, text, ...) from different windows, and it's not easy to do on tablets. In the same idea, it's not easy to resize photos on a tablet. So I post from my Mac.

In my opinion, Blogger on a tablet can be useful to share immediate thoughts, photos, events, without much work on the layout and the contents.

That is what I was guessing -- I wondered if practice at the navigation is all I need, but I rely on a few firefox add-ons when I blog.

IMO, tablets additional screen space make browsing more confortable than browsing on a mobile phone as zooming in / out is not necessary.

That said, browsing the web is sometimes (too many times) difficult with a tablet because many web pages are very heavy with a lot of ads, flash contents, ... They simply have not been designed for mobile phones / tablets and opening such pages is very long on a tablet, even when connected on wifi networks.

Can you make a link? I have not been able. I high lite a work, touch link, enter one, press OK, and no link.

@Mark

The Blogger's app "Link" button does not seem to work.
