Reading this post might be very useful for newbie bloggers who has no PC yet, and want to blog conveniently. Even if you're already a top blogger, you might still learn one or two things in this post because I don't believe in walking with PC everywhere I go.
Did you find that virtually all my blog posts are updated with an Android tablet? The posts pictures are designed on the same tablet. My blog template is also edited using the tablet. Virtually everything I do is done on this tablet because, as at the time of this post, I don't own a PC yet and I blog conveniently. Your smartphone can be used too.
I'll now unleash the top apps I use that makes blogging very easy for me on Android device. I'll tell you the works I use each of them for.
Here they go:
#1. Adobe Reader
I use this adobe reader to read pdf files. I also use it to preview my blog's template in XML version. Adobe reader can read all text documents and displays it very clearly.
#2. Bloggeroid
Bloggeroid is a blogger app that allows me to post blog contents instantly, and if I wish to save as draft or scheduled posts. I can easily open the app and type my content and right away, also add images to my blog posts. The app also supports image attachments. I can also add and edit the picture caption and properties via this app for image optimization.
3. Chrome
Chrome is a browser app from Google. Current bloggers should know this. Chrome app on smartphones actually works like Chrome on PC. It displays the web version of any site you open. The only thing about Chrome is that I can't download Chrome extensions on my smartphone. But at least, It does the work I need.
#4. Cloud console
Bloggers who know about Google Webmasters tool and search console really needs this app to monitor their blog search analytic results. It helps me to track my traffic very well. I can add sitemaps to my google search console dashboard through this app. It's a very useful app for serious bloggers.
#6. Email
I use this app to send and receive email messages instantly, as I set it to 10minutes sync. I have up to 5 email accounts I set up only on this app. My Gmail, Yahoo mail, domain mail, Nokia mail, etc. can easily be created on this app and receive notifications instantly.
#7. Firefox
In case I didn't want to use the Google Chrome to surf the net, this is what u use. Firefox is also an important Web browser that also works exactly as it does on PCs. If I want to enjoy it well, I set my phone to auto-rotate and use the landscape to surf the net. Very interesting
#8. Nairaland app
Recently, I heard that Nairaland is also one of the websites I can get more traffic to my blog. So I checked it out and download the app for easy access. When I installed the Nairaland app, it automatically installed 2 apps. One is their home page, while the second is section. I can access the Nairaland forum to read posts, comments and create new posts. It gives me much easy access than checking the forum.
#9. Photo Resizer
I came across photo resizer when the need arose to resize some pictures pixels and/or file sizes. I wanted to register for something one day and needed to upload a picture. The picture I liked to upload was big in file size to what I was asked to upload. So I easily reduce the file size through this app
When time comes to upload pictures for my posts, this app is very useful because I wouldn't want to slow down my blog with a large amount of data of pictures. So I resize to little amount of at most 30kb

#10. Pix Art
With pix art, everyone is an artist. Honestly, I've never used a PC to design my blog's images before. It's this pix Art.
Pix Art is a very powerful image editor that has several features to edit images to taste. If you're exquisite using Pix Art, you can make it work for you, even like Photoshop on PC. I practiced it very much, and that's why I'm a bit perfect using it.
#11. Twitter + Facebook
These two apps are used to check how well my blog post feeds are doing. I believe most people have these two apps. They're also essential apps for bloggers.
#12. WPS
This is really my Microsoft Office software in PC. It has Microsoft Word, Microsoft power point, Microsoft Excel and can view all word document files.
Sometimes if I don't want to go online, I can use this app to get my blog posts typed. Then, copy and paste when I go online. This app also allows me to edit my blog's template. When I'm online, I'd just log into my blogger dashboard and copy all my HTML codes in the edit HTML and paste it in the word editor of WPS. I Can then modify the code conveniently, and then copy and paste back to the edit HTML.
But I always back up my template before I carry out this operation.
Bonus App
SwiftKey is my keyboard. With SwiftKey, I'm very faster than using PC to type. It corrects my spelling errors automatically. I can type 5 lines of words without looking at the phone's screen. I'm very convenient using SwiftKey.
You wanna get any of these apps? Simply go to your Google play store, and search for the name. Make sure you download the latest version, for a better experience.
However, you may be confused about anything, let me know via the comment. I'd be there to respond to you.
Tell us other apps you use on smartphone to blog conviniently!

Very convenient and simple, will help you learn the truth about your children, because it is important to supervise children, especially if they are naughty.
ReplyDeleteAnd you hit the point Kenneth. A lot have quitted blogging because they can't afford to but a laptop but they spend much hours using their phones to do some other things.
DeleteYou may just share this article to reach fellow peasant bloggers who cannot afford to buy PC yet. Thanks.
I'm not going to behave like my friend who can't blog without a system.
ReplyDeleteI bet this will definitely come in handy!
In as much as I commend your efforts Mr. Akinbola, I advice you work on your grammar and use of English.
You can install Grammarly extension on your chrome. It will help you correct common grammars and make your write ups more professional.
Thank you very much Mr. Samuel for the advice.
DeleteI currently use my PC to blog. This post is actually to help those who can't afford to buy a PC yet, but still wants to enjoy blogging. Not everybody have the access to that laptop!
I'd try out what you asked me to do.
Smartphone surveys are designed by taking in view of various aspects. A short Smartphone survey consists of few questions only and smaller graphics.
