Update - Blogaway

This version is a minor update with mostly bug fixes.

People have been asking for delete functionality in the drafts/accounts/posts.

So, currently, I have enabled the deletetion of drafts and blog-roll.

Blogaway - Now supports Video upload

We are happy to announce that Blogaway now supports Video upload option with your blog posts. So, finally we got it working.

From the create post screen, you just have to say, Add Video. Select a video from your gallery, write a short post, and click on Publish from the menu. That's it.

However, there are some pre-requisites to be able to post blogs with pictures/videos. For picture uploading, you need to activate you Picasa account, and similarly, for uploading videos, you need to activate your Youtube account. Else you will get an error "Not found", as many people have been reporting. And also, right now, while creating a post, there is a limitation to what all you can attach to your post.

You can definitely attach any number of links as you want. But for pictures and videos, you can attach only a single picture or a single video. We are trying to get a solution for multiple pictures/video upload, but till then this the limitation for our application.

Hope you enjoy using Blogaway.

Blogaway - Now supports adding links

Hi People,
I know it's an important feature. But in the hurry, I forgot to include this in the initial releases. Now you can add links to your posts.

In the create post screen, you will see a new menu item called "Add Link". Clicking on it, you will see a dialog which has 2 text boxes. The first one is for the URL. (Please don't append http://, since blogaway will do it for you). In the label text box, enter a label for the link. This is optional. It no label is provided, the URL itself will be the label.

Apart from this feature, I have also enable auto-cap sentences in the Post Title, Post itself and in the Comments box, in the Create Comment screen.

Important Update

The last update has a problem with the text box for the Post and the Comment areas. Due to this problem, the text is not getting wrapped into multiple lines. Now the bug has been fixed and the new update is available on the Market.

I request you to please apply the update to remove this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Blogaway v2.2 now supports Geo-Tagging

Its been quite some time since the last update. Been quite busy. Today, I have updated "Blogaway" to support Geo-Tagging your posts. While you are writing a small post from your phone, if you want to send/post your location information along with the post, you can simply turn-on the Automatic Geo-tagging feature by going to the "Settings" screen.

If this option is selected, every post that you publish will contain your location information, i,e the address from where you had published that post. The address will be a hyperlink. If you click on the hyperlink, you will be taken to Google Maps, and the address will be marked for you.

Clicking on the link will directly take you to that location on the Google Maps. If you need to turn off this feature, just go to settings, and uncheck "Geo-Tagging" and now you will not be sending your location information.

There is another option on the "Settings" screen called "Automatic Updates". This has not been implemented yet. So, it is disabled as of now.

Blogaway v2.2 now supports Image upload

The updated blogaway now supports creating new post with an image. The current version supports only 1 image per post. Here are the steps to follow to attach an image while creating a post.

1. From the "Create Post" screen, click on the "Add Image" option from the menu. You will be taken to the Gallery. After you select an image from your gallery, a thumbnail of the selected image will appear on the screen, just above the posts area.

2. Enter a title for the post, and content if you wish.

3. From the menu, select "Publish" to post.

You can also select the size of the image and the layout (center, left or right) by clicking on the thumbnail of the selected image.


You can upload any type of images. The application might crash if you try to select video files from your gallery. Video upload option is still not supported with this version.

Also, if you have created and post with an image, and saved it to the phone's drafts, re-opening that post later will not contain any information about the image. You have to re-attach the image again and then publish.

Update - Blogaway 2.1

Hi Everyone,

Recently, many people have been facing this issue with blogaway. Intermittently, the application "force closed".

Now, it has been fixed.

Now, you can save posts as drafts to your phone. Later, you can open them, edit them and publish to your blog.

Now, displayed time is formatted to a more readable format.

Note: Sometimes, when you get a "Error processing Request" message, please try again. This seems to be a bug with the core blogger API.

Now I am working on the "Manage Accounts" page.

New Update Available

- Home screen changed.
- Adjusted some layouts for orientation change.

Future updates will mostly UI changes. I am trying hard to implement the photo upload feature. I need some more time.

Update - Blogaway 2.0

You can now use the comment feature to comment on posts right from your phone.

By default, the default account will be used to send/post the comment. If you have multiple accounts configured, there is a Spinner in which you can specify which account to use while commenting.

At present, anonymous comments are not allowed from the application, even if the post has permission.

The UI is very awkward now, with so many activities till you reach the posts screen, or the comment screen. So, I will be concentrating on the UI for the next release, so that it is simple to use.
