5 Blogging Apps For Your iPad

Being the super cool man (sometime child) that I am, I just had to purchase the iPad when it came out a few months ago. After several days of crying and begging my wife allowed me to purchase one. Much like purchasing a new car, the excitement was gone after about a week and I needed to find a real purpose for my new, expensive iPad. While browsing the internet was much easier, I needed something much more productive than being able to respond to Facebook from my sofa. I didn’t have to look far.

I run and manage several blogs. Naturally, this was the first thing I thought about as I spend a lot of time thinking about blogs. After a little time browsing the App Store, I realized  the iPad has several great apps for bloggers. In fact, after getting used to the iPad I find it very easy to compose and publish a blog post.

Below you will find a list of apps that will help you become more productive and find “actual” uses for your new gadget. Let the blogging tips begin

1. WordPress App – This app is a given when blogging on the iPad. Compared to the full web versions, this app is not all that much to talk about but it definitely gets the job done. For the most part, the app includes on basic options. You will be able to edit, create, and delete pages. You will also be able to manage comments.
2. Note Taker HD – I actually think there might be a few other options. Okay, there are a lot of other options but I personally like being a to use a stylus. Having electronic copies of your notes is so important to me (albeit typing or writing). Now, to talk about why note taking is important. Most of my ideas come when I am not near my desktop or electronic device. At times I am using my wife’s lip liner to to jot down a few notes on the napkin. Not any more. I just jot down my thought using my iPad. There is no need to worry about what other think. With the advent of the iPhone 4 and Droid X everything is moving more mobile. Plus, have you seen the size of the Droid X? I have added a cool pic of me writing on my iPad. Just look how cool. I hope this is the future lest I just look really dumb.
3. Dragon Dictation – This blogging app was more difficult for me to get acquainted to using. However, if used properly and often enough it can become a highly effective blogging tool. I have also used this app in conjunction with taking notes. Some edits are inevitable, but all in all, it is a great app.
4. BrowserNotes – I have not actually used this app but it appears to be gaining some traction. Supposedly, it allows you to take notes while browsing the internet. It splits your iPad screen allowing note taking and browsing. I think it could be very useful if it work like the developers claim.
5. NewsRack – My personal favorite for RSS readers. I use it a lot. Helps me stay current and up-to-date.

Please keep me updated on new blogging apps as they come out. Let me know what you think about blogging on the iPad.
