Blogging On The Go

Posted by Jimmy as Blog Tutorial, Opinion, Writing

We all know that majority of the big blogging platforms offers bloggers the option of writing and updating blogs from mobile devices. Live blogging is actually a great way to update blogs anywhere and anytime. I have nothing against this.

However, I do have some thoughts when it comes to the writing. If you blog on the go, ask yourself this question: Is your â€œon the goâ€ writing at par with your regular writing? When I say regular writing, I mean when you sit in front of your computer at home or at the office and take your time coming up with your blog posts.

To be honest, I have never really tried blogging on the go. I normally wait till I can sit down and think through my blog posts. Yet I also know that sometimes, when the ideas for a post come, they do not wait for a specific time. They just come and I feel the urge to write.

There are two sides to blogging on the go â€“ if you are inspired enough, I suppose that your writing could be even better than when you wait for a later time. When the creative juices flow, there is no stopping it. Yet the other side raises a cause for concern for me â€“ what if you are simply in too much of a hurry that your writing becomes sloppy? This may not be an issue for some people but for those who are anal about their writing, you would understand what I mean.

So which is better, blogging on the go or waiting for a later time to write your posts?

I will often start a blog draft on my Blackberry or at least outline some key thoughts while they’re fresh in my head. I don’t write too many entire posts while mobile, preferring to clean them up when I have more robust tools on my desktop, but being able to draft while mobile helps ensure I don’t lose a thought.

Like Aaron above, I’ll start a post on my mobile device (usually using Word Mobile) but wait to publish it until I’m back at a computer. Most of the time I write from my mobile I’m at work in a car, so depending on my job I may have to drop the phone and zoom somewhere. Plus, no matter how ergonomic many mobile keyboards are, there are going to be typos, and knowing my brain the post will definitely have to be proof read before publishing.

Some spontaneous posts are done on the road, but usually only when I;m uploading a single photo with a blurb.
