OK.
I've now discovered that I can't copy an entire text document from PlainText and paste it into Blogger. I just get a portion of it, when I'm able to do it.
I don't like writing blog posts using the online interface.
I've read that Blogsy works pretty well, but I have to upgrade to iOS 5 before installing it.
The plea for tips is below the squiggle.
I understand that Safari iOS is limited though I think basic cut-paste-clipboard functions are such a fundamental part of a graphic user interface the iPad does a disappointingly bad job.
As far as calibrating what I like, for years I preferred Nisus for word processing, and Vantage, Tex-Edit or BBEdit for text editing. I've written books, magazine and newspaper stuff.
When I'm on a PC I use Word. (Who doesn't?)
Apps, workarounds, hints, tips, laments, complaints ... ?
