The First blog post from my android mobile...well almost!

.

Well it would have been had I been able to actually fill in the main body of the post!. The problem is that even though I can enter details into the Title part of the post, when I press "next" on the phone it jumps to the Labels for this post are....and it won't let me write anything in the main body of the blog post. A bit of a pain especially as Android is a Google sourced system!

Come on Google, sort it out!

Update:

I found that if you change the post option to "Edit HTML" rather than "Compose" it allows you to fill out the post contents box.

Sorted! :-)

Why do people blog about their illness?

.

Hundreds of people blog about their illness or trauma every day. In her article from the Guardian Sue Eckstein explains why......

"If anyone had told me a year ago that I'd be a blogger I would have laughed. I am a cautious Facebook user – by turns amused and horrified at the very public way that friends (and friends of friends of friends) conduct their lives. It feels like happening upon a hidden diary and taking the wrong decision to have a quick read.

In April, I was diagnosed with a malignant giant cell tumour in my leg, and amputation was the proposed "cure". A few days before my admission to hospital, I was trying to explain to a friend how well-wishers' remarks about Heather Mills's fancy footwork on the ice rink were actually little consolation. "You should blog about it," she said. I was sceptical, not least because I didn't know what a blog was. My friend – a poet – showed me hers, and I loved the clean lines, the elegant prose, the haunting photographs. It seemed a million miles from the shouty randomness of Facebook and the cryptic soundbites of Twitter"

Hallelujah to that ! :-)
