>> Type Pad is the largest professional blogging service in the world. Every month more than a hundred million people visit a blog that's powered by Type Pad, and photo blogging is one of our most popular features. Let me show you Type Pad on the iPhone. So this is the applications home screen, and from here it's incredibly easy for me to post to my blog. I can create a simple text post by tapping Create a Post, and that brings up our post editor. Or I could choose to blog the moment by taking a photo and sending it directly to my blog. This takes advantage of the camera API and the iPhone SDK. But what I want to do today is actually blog a photo that I took yesterday. A group of folks were visiting San Francisco from our Paris office, and I took them down to Fisherman's Wharf. So I'll tap on Add a Photo. This will let me browse my photo albums, and I'll go to the Trip to San Francisco album, and I'll pick that first photo there. I can move and scale it to make it fit just right for my blog, and I'll tap Choose to select it. This brings me to my post editor. Now I'll tap to change the blog that I want to post it to. My default is Michael's Blog, but I want to put this in Traveling California, which is where I blog about all of my adventures in the Golden State. I'll tap to add a title, and we'll just call this Wow. I can tap to choose categories to put it in the right place in my blog's archives. We'll pick Baria [assumed spelling] and Food and Drink. And now finally I'll tap to add some body text and some commentary for the post, and we'll just say Young. So I tap Publish, and Type Pad for iPhone instantly starts sending the post and the photo up to my blog, and returns me to the applications home screen. I'll tap on the Pending Items view to watch our progress, and in the meantime I'd actually go and create a new post if I wanted to. But there, we just got an alert to let us know that the post has been published. We'll tap on the View button. That'll launch Safari, and take us right to the post that we've just created, and it's available for the world to see. And that's how easy it is to blog with Type Pad on the iPhone. [ applause ] We're really excited about the iPhone SDK. Made it incredibly easy for us to develop this mobile application. And we're also excited to announce that the app will be available for free at the launch of the iPhone app store, which we believe will be the best way for users to get applications on their mobile device. Thanks very much for having us. [ applause ]
