Alright, first gripe about the squarespace app: no auto-save. I was mid-post on the train when I got a phone call. After finishing the call and returning to the app, it was gone. I was a little peeved, but also realized I should be saving drafts regularly.

So with this post, I started doing that. But much to my dismay, it's super cumbersome. It takes 3 taps to save the draft to my phone. Then it takes me back to the 'mange posts screen', which takes 10-15 seconds to load. Then I have to tap on the article I was just in and tap edit. Now that's a lot of work just to make sure my post doesn't get destroyed because of a phone call or randomly hitting the home button.

I still think the app is great. It's free and it does make posting super easy, but the lack of auto save on a platform where random (uncontrollable) interruptions can blow away a bunch of work is a bit of a disconnect.

In an effort to stop neglecting my blog, I've decided to start blogging whenever I'm on any CTA (chicago transit authority) vehicle.  Since <a href="www.squarespace.com">SquareSpace</a> (my hosting platform) has a great, free <a href='http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/squarespace/id318590874?mt=8'>iPhone app</a>, I can post entries directly from my phone.  I've used it to post a couple of short entries with photos, and it works pretty well.  We'll see how well things go with longer entries.  But beyond making sure I get my money's worth on my monthly hosting bill, I really want it to be therapeutic.  Doing short to medium sized posts on a daily basis will help get my mind off work for a bit while making my rush hour commute a bit more tolerable.  It also allows me to carve out some 'me time' everyday, which is something that tends to wan as work gets busier.
