I also use the "notes" feature on my Blackberry.<br /><br />One question for you: in your comment on my blogathon wrap-up post (http://writinginsand.wordpress.com/2010/06/01/things-i-learned-during-the-blogathon/) you commented that if you were keeping Blogger you would add a Twitter follow button to your blog. If I can ask, why can't you add a Twitter button to wherever you are moving to? Just curious!Beth VanHoosehttp://writinginsand.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441881490261696065.post-69728924508752175152010-06-02T15:56:30.655-04:002010-06-02T15:56:30.655-04:00Bill, this is a great suggestion.

I could never dictate, so it's great to be reminded of other people's approaches to creating their blog posts.Susan Weiner, CFAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00489970722019978871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441881490261696065.post-82145509177811738432010-06-02T15:31:12.912-04:002010-06-02T15:31:12.912-04:00Regarding Tip #6, you may want to look at text-to-...Regarding Tip #6, you may want to look at text-to-speech applications.<br /><br />I started using Dragon Dictation on my iPad over the last week to get my ideas in text form. It does a surprisingly good job (in part because I intentionally speak like a robot) and saves me a little time and money not having to arrange transcription.<br /><br />Dragon Dictation is free for iPad and iPhone. Each dictation is limited to about 60 seconds, but you can say a lot in that time!<br /><br />Lastly, there's no shortage of dictation apps that support unlimited recording lengths for a reasonable fee. A Google search will yield the top providers.Bill Winterberg, CFP®http://fppad.comnoreply@blogger.com
