One of the things that annoys me the most about Blogger is mobile. Not that the mobile app isn't great, but that drafts created on the mobile app don't show up in drafts on desktop.

Many times I'm out and about and have an epiphany I want to share with the world. So, I open up the Android app, type out a rough draft, add some photos and then save it for review later. As we all know, typing on a mobile isn't as easy as typing on an actual true keyboard.

However, the draft doesn't show up on blogger.com. With all Google's autobackups and save to clouds, one would think the Blogger app would save drafts to the cloud a little easier.

Or, maybe it does and I just can't find the setting. I'm pretty, not smart.

I just did a small test with the Blogger app (from Google) on Android, and after hitting the discette icon to save, it appeared on desktop like any other draft. What are you doing differently?

Added: Are you using a different Google account?

Hmm... I don't know. I created a post last night, saved it and while it was on the app this morning, it wasn't available on desktop. Let me try again.

Did you see the last sentence, which I added just before you posted? That would be an easy trap to fall in.

Johnnie Hougaard Nielsen, no. This account. 

However, I did create a post on the app just a few minutes ago, saved it and it showed on the web interface. 

So weird.

Google had completely ignored the blogger application. May in near future it will go the way of reader.

Pravin Vibhute​ I highly doubt that. It is true that Blogger has ignored their mobile app, but not the Blogger platform.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
