squarespace on iPad and iPhone

I have to say the my first impressions of the two apps are very good too, mirroring my experiences with the web version. On the iPad I get a long list of posts, and can manipulate them with ease. I can even add in markup using HTML, markdown, or textile which is a bonus over Wordpress. I also get stats and a view website mode in the app both on iPhone and iPad.

It's all here, this will make it easier to write online on the go, something I did with Wordpress. It might ever resurrect my iPad and stop it from being relegated to the corner (I don't use it much).

I have to admit, image handling could be a lot better. I inserted these four pictures into the post, two from the iPad and two from the iPhone. I didn't find any way of organising or editing them on the mobile device so I returned to the web interface. It let me create smaller images and align left or right but overall it's fairly basic. The way it deals with inserted images from mobile devices is to dump them at the top. Although I could add the images and make the text flow around them I haven't yet found a way to reset it so I could have all the images down the right-hand-side for example. Now that I've made these changes in the web side I doubt I can edit on mobile devices without destroying the edits I've just made, but then again it's basically HTML.

It would be good, if only it didn't crash every time I try to edit something. With any luck they will fix this soon.
