Blogging on the iPad

I'm blogging while the kids are cleaning up their pigsty of a mess from nap time. I could get used to the ease of this on the iPad, except that I can never go back and edit a post once posted. So I have to create a new one with each thought. Also, it does not keep my paragraphs, I have to add the HTML break code. Except that I can't go back and edit, so will have to wait until I turn my big computer on one day to edit all the messy posts from the iPad. I don't know when I'll do that however as there are horrible things on there that suck my time, like banking to do, kills to pay, emails to read and then have to reply to, websites that suck you in, homeschooling research that does the same thing.

It's taken me a fair few posts to realize how to work the iPad's text suggestion. In windows you click if you want the suggestion instead of your own text, if you ignore them, they don't bug you. Apple however is very annoying if you like your own spelling as it defaults to replacing your words with what it deems are more appropriate and you have to stop to 'unclick' the suggestion if you don't like it.

I also don't like that there only seems to be the equivalent of a backspace key but not a delete key. I never would have projected how annoying this would be. I like how a new sentence automatically gets capitalized however.
