If You Can Send an Email, You Can Write a Blog Post
We’ve been keeping a personal, travel blog, using the free Blogger.com website for many years – you can learn how by watching Episode 190 of our What Does This Button Do? Youtube show.
While we’ve been on our dive trip, we’ve been without an Internet connection much of the time. Using the “Post by email” method, I can still write my blog posts
when the days are fresh in my mind. Since I can compose an email with no Internet connection, I can write whenever the inspiration suits me. When I click “Send”, it will go to Blogger whenever I do have a connection. This article teaches how to set it up.
Smartphone Typing Tips
Although I did bring a Chromebook laptop with me on this dive vacation, I’ve been using my phone for all basic tasks (including writing Blog Posts) and I’ve been reminded of a couple of nice shortcuts that I thought I’d pass along.
How to share an iPhone’s photo album with a non-iOS user
If you take pictures with your iPhone, you may use the Apple Photos app for making and sharing albums. The problem with this is that you can only share that
album with other iPhone users, (or iPad or Mac.) This is why I like Google Photos so much – it plays nice with both Apple iOS and Android. Albums are not transferrable between Apple Photos and Google Photos – you’re stuck with the tools in the app that you used to make the album.
This article will teach you the sharing technique that will work for anyone, whether they use an Apple device or not.
