My Phone Isn't the Best for Blogging

I've been doing a lot of blogging from my phone. It's convenient.  I don't have to be at my desktop.  I can sit on the couch, while my first grader is working on her handwriting, and swipe the keyboard to my heart's content.  Unfortunately, it doesn't always work the best.

My pictures sometimes don't go through, even though I've had a blast editing them on all the cool photo editor apps I have downloaded on my phone that costs way too much.  And when they do post, they always post in the largest form.  On my blog, that is too large.  The picture then covers texts on the sides of the blog. 

I don't proofread as well as I do on my desktop, because the screen is so small. 

Simple things, like spacing between paragraphs doesn't happen. Even though I double space between paragraphs on my phone, when I send it through, it always shows up single spaced.

I never know... truly know... if a blog has posted.  For instance, one post that I made failed over and over on my phone.  I figured it was the phone network.  Then, after a couple of days, when I got onto my desktop, the post HAD published.

I always intend to edit the posts on my desktop at a later point in the day.  I don't always get to it.  I have teenagers.  They don't have smartphones or Ipads.  So... they use the desktop.  One daughter has an Ipod touch, but she does get on the computer for school projects and research.   My desktop, which I've reset to factory settings a couple of times when it has stopped working, is getting old.  It's been through two older daughters that have moved out.  It's been through years of blogging.  It's been through countless research papers and thousands of pictures downloaded and edited.  It's even been though a cat peeing on it one day.  The screen is still discolored at the bottom from that incidence.  (Don't worry, that cat has since passed, but it was of natural causes. She was old.)

I have a confession, however.  Knowing all of this won't change my loafing ways, lol.  I will just apologize to those that enjoy reading my blog, and put up with the errors.  Technology is a wondrous thing, but it isn't perfect... especially when it is being typed by an overwhelmed, over-scheduled, homeschooling mama.  I may love to blog, but I can't always sit at my desk in the corner of the living room (which is cold in the winter) to type.  Eventually I may get get an Ipad or a laptop, but it's not part of my budget right now.
