My web server uses Apache and the Varnish cache to serve the site. I copy an URL, type a caption (or ALT text), and tap a button done. When I want to insert images and such, I grab a suitable image URL from Flickr (where I keep all my photos and screenshots), and use another Editorial action to make the appropriate HTML for me. Here’s a screenshot of the template, which is of course actually an Editorial workflow in disguise. I have an Editorial document template that creates a suitably-formatted Markdown (with YAML front-matter) file for a new blog post. Since it talks to Dropbox, I can just create new articles directly in my Dropbox where I keep my entire Jekyll site, and they’re ready to go when I next build and publish (more about that later). No surprises, then, that I use it as my Markdown editor for blogging too. It’s a text (and code) editor and automation toolkit in one. In my article on making email newsletters on iPad, I talked a bit about Editorial, one of my favourite iOS apps. My host is Linode (oh how I love them), and I have a fully iPad-only workflow for blogging and updating the site. It lets me keep all my content in Markdown, and edit posts in any text editor. I have custom templates, CSS, and even several Ruby plugins, and I’m pretty pleased with it. This entire site is built using Jekyll, a static site generator written in Ruby.
