Which may be in my future. Don't get me wrong--the iPad is great. But I would much rather have Chrome as my browser. And really--not having flash is a problem. Too often I come across videos I want to view but cannot.
Back to BlogPress--setting up and signing into my blogger account was quick and easy. And text is a breeze, as would be expected. HTML is limited, with hyperlinks, bold, italics, block quote, and some font choices. No WYSIWYG, so the program just adds the HTML tags.
I can also add pictures either from Picasa or from the iPad.
Here's one I have on Picasa:
And here's one from my iPad:
From the lighthouse at the south end of Beaver Island.
I can only add the picture, though. No formatting.
One thing I can do, though, is save the posting as a draft online and then tweak formatting when on my computer. Which I will do. But I shouldn't have to.

I wanna see more Beaver Island pictures!
As much as I worship my Mac OS computers, the closed-loop iPad is not thrilling me. I got a free one as part of our emerging-tech group. I like it fine, and didn't find the Android tablet as clever with its interface.
But I love Google...so I hope Android will improve. As long as it's not from Micro$oft, I'll try most anything :D
I really like my iPad for casual browsing, games, writing. And I like reading ebooks (and student portfolios) on it.
But--heavy duty work with writing, web pages, images--it's not there yet.
When an Android tablet comes along that works decently and has full integration with Chrome and Google docs--and doesn't cost as much as an iPad--I might bite. But after watching my wife struggle with an Android phone--it may be a while!
