It is a lot easier to blog with an iPad on this more recent version of Safari which has tabbed browsing.
One of the problems with glow blogs is their lack of support for the MetaWeblogAPI so that the many blogging apps on iOS do not work.
One of the problems blogging with an iOS device is the lack of support for file uploads in web browsers.
This mean if you want to use an image in a blog post you need to use one previously uploaded to the web. Here I have searched Flickr with A flickr CC search toy which finds safe images that you can legally use and provides an HTML snippet to insert the image with the attribution.
The new safari with tabs makes it easy to write a post in one tab and search for an image in the other. Remember that Mobile safari does not support the wysiwyg editing of posts you need to switch to the HTML editor.
Hopefully when we hear of the next ‘version’ of glow it will include the ability to use the MetaWeblogAPI in glow blogs.
