The BlogPress iPhone ap makes blogging on your website a breeze.  I am always looking for iphone aps that help me be more productive, when I can’t be in front of a desktop or laptop computer.  The BlogPress ap has made it possible for me to blog whereever I am.

I have the ap set up to handle all my blogs on Blogger.com  It can do much more, though.  It also handles my blogging on WordPress and Joomla.  This includes my websites like this one, which are built on a WordPress theme.  There are setting for MSN Live Spaces, Movable Type, TypePad, Live Journal, and Drupal.  You can also hook in Youtube,  Twitter, and some other sites.

For my wordpress sites, I had to activate the XML-RPC settings in the Settings>Writing section of my admin console.  There is also a setting there to active Atom style protocols.  This allows the iPhone ap to publish to a private website.

In Joomla, you will have to download and install the MetaWeblog plugin for Joomla. It grabbed it from the Joomla extensions site.  You also have to enable web services in the Global Setting section of your admin console in Joomla.

You may also want to grab the free iPhone ap for Dragon dictation. You can then dictate your blog, and paste it into the page you set up in the BlogPress ap.  Pictures can also be added this way. 

The BlogPress iPhone ap makes blogging on your website a breeze. I hope you will give it a try. Then, the world can become your blogging office!

Blogging is a geat way to start to develop your social media network. It is also a great way to promote your business and services. Let’s take a moment and look at blogs.

By definition, a blog is a type of website used to share information, articles, videos, pictures, opinions on some topic. The sites are usually maintained by an individual or small group, though large corporations are starting to get in the game.
The word derives its meaning from weblog.

My favorite blogs to use are set up on WordPress, Blogger,Bloglines, and Tumblr. Each of these sites will allow you to set a blog, or multiple blogs, for free. You do not even need to write on different subjects. You may carry the same article, or post, on each of the blogs you set up.

My favorite thing to do with a blog is share information on a particular subject of interest. You are reading such a blog entry now. I am fascinated with blogging on social media, and its affects on our current society. So, I share this bit of expertise on these blog sites.

The best blog articles are 500 to 1000 words in length. They will contain keywords in the title, and a couple of times during the article. In this case, I am writing on social media integration. I have used these so called “keywords” in my title, and in the article.

A keyword is a word that someone might use to find something about my business in a informational search on a site like google or yahoo.
So, I use the keywords social,media, and integration as a way for people to find my work on the Internet. In fact, I even own a website named <a href=”http://ping.fm/s8WKY%3C/p%3E%3Cp%3EI”%3Ehttp://ping.fm/s8WKY%3C/p%3E%3Cp%3EI%3C/a%3E%20use%20the%20big%20blogs%20because%20of%20the%20respect%20they%20have%20gained%20through%20the%20years.%20%20In%20addition,%20search%20engines%20like%20google.com%20place%20a%20value%20on%20these%20blogs%20sites,%20for%20their%20time%20in%20business%20and%20the%20general%20quality%20of%20the%20information%20that%20comes%20from%20them.%20%3C/p%3E%3Cp%3EThe%20last%20piece%20of%20information%20I%20would%20like%20to%20share%20is%20in%20regards%20to%20the%20quality%20of%20the%20articles.%20%20A%20well%20crafted,%20highly%20informational%20article%20is%20typically%20well%20received.%20%20That%20is,%20however,%20not%20always%20easy%20to%20do%20in%20terms%20of%20the%201000%20word%20limit.%3C/p%3E%3Cp%3EIf%20you%20have%20not%20started%20blogging%20on%20your%20talents,%20or%20your%20business%20or%20services,%20why%20not%20get%20started%20today.%20%20I%20am%20always%20available%20to%20help%20with%20this%20task.%20You%20can%20reach%20me%20at%20contactus@celticozarkian.com%20or%20@celticozarkian%20on%20Twitter!%3C/p%3E%3Cp%3Eslainte,%3Cbr%20/%3ERay%20Province%3C/p%3E%3Cp%3ERay%20Province%20is%20a%20retired%20minister,%20and%20currently%20works%20in%20IT%20programming%20for%20a%20healthcare%20company.%20He%20is%20also%20the%20owner%20of%20Celtic%20Ozark%20Solutions,%20an%20IT%20company%20that%20specializes%20in%20website%20development,%20SEO,%20and%20social%20media%20integration.%20%20You%20can%20get%20more%20information%20on%20this%20topic%20at%20%3Ca%20href=”><span style=”color: #0060ff;”>http://ping.fm/YEPC0</span></a> or <a href=”http://ping.fm/36UWc”><span style=”color: #0060ff;”>http://ping.fm/36UWc</span></a>
