Tumblr's very trendy right now. I don't like their mobile app, but I don't know if the iPad one is the same as Android. Anyway, I just use the web browser even on my phone.
We're in love. We're ... lovers. We're lesbian, gay-type lovers.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I know that Wordpress.org offers free hosting for basic blogs, fwiw.
wordpress.com is the hosted service -- wordpress.org is the free software you install on your own hosting. The mobile apps work equally well whether you host with them or on your own.
Either way, second the WP recommendation (but note that I might be a bit biased).

Hahahaha, IT sits at the table behind me, and one of the IT guys just got a GS4 to test after being a long-time iPhone user. Now he's asking Android and Siri competing questions and making them fight. So far, Siri is a lot sassier than the Android voice search.

amych, can you recommend any online resources for WordPress? I'm just learning and I'm finding my knowledge of HTML to be a handicap, in that I just want to do it my way. I have some sites I'd like to move to WordPress and teach someone else how to update them.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Not amych, but the Wordpress Codex was useful to me when I was putting a site into WP. I had very specific goals, though, so I could search on how to change the Category page so it sorted by two critera. There are still some general pages that explain how the PHP files are structured that will probably help.

Ginger, the best I know for people who are getting started running sites is [link] (paid, with some free samples and a 30-day refundable period).
If you're looking for stuff that's more on the programming side, [link] has been really solid for the last couple of years (although some of their older stuff was pretty dodgy).
If you need free, the getting started stuff on wordpress.com is quite good (http://en.support.wordpress.com/) with the caveat that there will be some things that don't apply to a self-hosted site -- still, for how to get up and running and drive the software, it's good stuff.
(Also, if there are specifics that you're struggling with, you can just ping me)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I was redirected from Picasa to Google Plus, but yes, it works.
Also, when you hover your mouse over the photos, it looks like you're about to emerge from the lake and bequeath a sword to me.
