Few Tips for Using Blogger's Official Android App

Sometime ago Blogger released their first ever app for android which helps you to blog via using your android phone once the app is installed. They have a great post on googlemobile blog which gives few tips that can come in handy while using it.

Pretty powerful when u know how to use it!...

1. If you have to insert pictures then attach them while you write. 

I think the idea is that, let's say that your internet speed is a bit low "thanks to the signal" and since it can take a while for the uploading to complete, so to avoid some difficulties (you know the usual waiting ;-) ) make sure to insert pics while you type so hopefully when you're finished it'll be uploaded completely.

2. GPS might come in handy!

Since most of the phones come with GPS in built you can let your readers know your current location (pretty cool if you have a social friendly site for instance). So using the new blogger app (after setting it up) it'll automatically tag your current location.

3. Easily Switch different blog accounts

If you write for more than one blog, then by tapping into the "arrow" type orange button you can easily switch in between different blog sites/accounts.

4. Find your posts with ease

Unlike on PC's, since you have limited screen space available on a touch sensitive screen you must get the maximum out of that "space". The blogger android app has a "list" icon on the upper right corner which lets you to see a list of both published and draft posts with ease. So use it too.

5. Use the "share" feature

When using android apps I think you're familiar with the "share" feature that comes with most of them. So whenever you come across something nerdy ;-) use that share feature to send it directly to blogger app ... which makes it easy for you to embed those interesting links, photos, videos, etc blog-post.

So these are not advanced tips but most of the time (including me) we have a tendency to overlook the most obvious factors. If you don't have it already then go to this blogger app for android market page.
