Update: After writing this review I was not able to use the new paid for feature of direct posting to my blog. It turned out that there was (frustratingly) a bad character inserted into the text which threw an error message. All is fixed, but that was frustrating. Some time ago I mentioned that I’d upgraded to the latest version of Byword (version 2.0 to be precise) and that I was tempted by the in-app purchase for the ability to post directly to various blog services. I did finally bite the bullet a few days ago and paid the extra fee to obtain the full benefits of Byword 2.0. I suspect I was influenced by the recent blog entry by Frank Eves where he goes Back with Byword. I’ve enjoyed Frank’s blog over the last few months and have generally agreed with his software writing tools opinions. And so when I noticed that he’d revisited the subject in this entry and placed Byword as number 1 on his list of markdown apps, I remembered that I was actually originally impressed with the editor although I’d strayed away from it over time. His bulleted list of Byword advantages specifcally caused me to serious reconsider using the app and here I am posting this new entry to a blog directly from this Markdown editor. Now if can only remember the short cut for posting this entry from Byword to the cloud!
