Blogsy YouTube

 YouTube figured out

Well, I think I figured out how to pull YouTube videos into my blog in Blogsy I think. I didn't have my account updated on YouTube so hopefully these work OK!

 

Fun

First a couple of my favorite videos...

 

Cats

Now fave cat star, Maru...

 

Work

And finally I discovered B&V has it's own channel, so here's a good colleague of mine talking about climate change... 

 

Playing with Blogsy some more...

 Thought I'd try out some more features (still resisting the need to read the instructions!).

Tried a bookmarklet to pull over  Wikipedia article an Anammox (fascinating microbes by the way)? The link worked ok.

And dragging a picture across worked fine...

 hmm, opens up a can of worms on copyright issues...

 

Still can't figure out You Tube though... Ah well, I'd better read the manual! 

Blogsy test drive

Day 2 of blogging and I'm trying out an App called Blogsy. After reading a couple of articles that said it's pretty much the only app worth bothering with, here I am testing it out. Of course, as a true geek and in the spirit of testing how intuitive it is, I haven't read any instructions nor did I watch the video they recommended when I first opened it. Maybe I'll do so if I make a complete hash of this entry!

 

Entering links worked pretty well by simply selecting a word and then using a handy icon on the right side of the screen to find the website and dragging across. 

 

Changing fonts seems simple enough. Bold, italic, underline and strike through are all there.

Right

Centered text

So, pretty much all the basics.

There's a gizmo that inserts a line for "more" no idea what for but maybe I'll play with that sometime!

Inserting photos seems easy enough. This one is from my Picasa...

Another here from my iPad...

For some reason I had to upload it to Picasa (or I could have used Flicr) first, but that's OK I guess? I need to head over to Picasa to see where it dropped it.

Finally it looks like I can drop in You Tube videos...  OK I failed to get my account to work. Maybe next blog... Hmmm, maybe I should read the manual after all.

And as for the more thingy...

Oh, that's what it does!

 

Happy blogging iPad users!
