I have been sitting in a cafe in exotic and glamorous Chicago, Illinois for a couple of hours, looking for a blog app that simply and effectively does what I want it to do. I haven't actually found one, it's just that while blogger is limited and annoying, it's not nearly so limited and annoying as the others I tried. Honestly the biggest problem is that I want to do a photo blog, and there doesn't appear to be an easy way in the other apps to change rotation of a photo. This sounds like a small gripe, but actually it fucking isn't, dude, and here's why (I'm about to teach you something, so get ready, or just skip down to the pictures if learning makes you feel uncomfortable, but don't be surprised if they make you feel uncomfortable as well. Maybe you just can't handle me). HTML, the language of the web, if you will, doesn't have any way to rotate a picture. Your phone, probably the thing you use to take most o of the pictures you take, stores the orientation information of the images you take with it. Then, when you go to look at the picture, it can look at the orientation info and display it so it's right-side up. This isn't always what you want it to do, but it's probably better than what HTML pages do with an image, which is to just display it in landscape whether that happens to be what you want or not. Blogger orients the picture so it's upright, since it knows the picture has that info stored with it. So, blogger it is, at least until I find a blog app that is actually good.
Ok, here is pictures:
