  • Remember Moblogging?

    Lat­est Word­Press for iOS update remind­ed me that moblog­ging was once a Thing. I’m draft­ing this on my phone from my couch, feel­ing nostalgic. I guess folks do this more now on plat­forms like Twit­ter, Tum­blr and any pho­to app under the sun. Still nice to actu­al­ly write something.
