Blogging is fun.
But you know what's more fun? Blogging on the go! Ever since Apple
first launched the iPad, people have been increasingly drawn towards mobile solutions
to their daily-life routines. And being the geekier of the lot,
Bloggers too have found gadgets that help them be more productive. Apple
announced the launch of a new iPads yesterday, and we figured people
would be flocking towards these Apple devices right now. If you are an
iPad or iPhone user, or are planning to buy one, here are some apps that are going to help you blog!
Today, we're going to take a step out of the ordinary WordPress and
Blogger apps, and look at some other well known, and lesser well known
apps that every blogger should have!
1. Blogsy
An app designed purely for the iPad, and your one-stop-shop for all your
blogging needs. It allows full access to a wide variety of blogging
platforms such as WordPress, Tumblr, Blogger, Squarespace, and more. You
can also manage your Flickr, YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram, and Facebook
accounts right from the main page. Use the drag-and-drop feature to add
photos and videos from your social networking sites into your blog
posts. Create links from websites with one touch. Use gestures for such
adjustments as bold print and text alignment. Create and edit posts and
schedule them for publication while on the go.
An absolute must application for blogging enthusiasts.

2. Squarespace
Squarespace is a lesser-known, but incredibly beautiful web-building
platform that allows users to craft elegant websites. This official app
gives you complete access to editing and managing your Squarespace
content from multiple accounts. You can create and edit posts using the
company’s Layout Engine, add photos, format text, and create links while
on the go. Keep track of comments and reply to readers with little
effort. You can even mark a comment as spam “with a flick of your
finger.” Instead of logging in and out of different pages, this app
allows you to toggle between websites seamlessly
3. Day One
If you're all for a comfortable writing experience, then this is the app
for you. Day One is an awesome journalism app that gives you a nice
writing experience with lots of customization features such as writing
reminders, social media integration, etc.
4. Posts
Whether you use Blogger or WordPress, or even both, this iPad app helps
you create and publish great content from anywhere. If you manage
multiple blogs, you’ll have easy access to all of them and be able to
check on everything at a glance. Browse your content by date by checking
the built-in calendar. Create, edit, and publish content, including
image layout and video uploads. Receive notifications when someone
comments and then edit and respond from within the app. Work offline,
including creating and editing new and previously published posts. All
work will be saved in the “outbox” and published when you are back
online.

5. OneNote
Microsoft's OneNote is so much better than many other note-taking
applications. Sure, it might not be as rich as Evernote, but even so I
always prefer OneNote. For one, it has simpler and better note
management, and you can organize better hierarchies (notes within
sections within notebooks etc.). And for another, you can access OneNote
so easily. It comes bundled with Microsoft Office suite (Word, Excel
etc. 2013). You can access your notes from a web browser too, not to
mention the cross-platform app that's available for iOS, Android and
Windows platforms.
Also, am I the only one who likes Microsoft's flat UI design? :)

This was my collection of the must have blogging apps for your iPad.
