as Montel said, this is how we do it

A few people have commented on how often we post here. I was immediately concerned that all three of our dedicated readers might get the idea that we are zombie-eyed drones that are constantly hitting the "new post" button while we drool on our pajama pants.

This couldn't be further from the truth. It's usually Coco drooling on our pants.

Below is our basic blogging routine. I believe Blogger has an app that might simplify this completely, but this is our way. The right way. The only way. If there's a better way, by all means feel superior.

Weareparr.com is a Google Blogspot blog, with a custom url (purchased with a few easy clicks from Google for $10 a year.)

We also use Posterous.com, a site where you can create and post content that automatically feeds out to other online outlets of your choice. Facebook, Twitter, and in our case, weareparr.com. It's a great site. Easy, free, and we're investigating how to leverage it even further.

So:

1) 99% of our posts are photos off of our iPhones. We have about 6 terabyte of Coco photos from our big-dog camera, but it's not nearly as easy to post those.

2) We use a camera app on our phones called instagr.am that lets you take photos and choose a variety of filters to run them through.

3) We obviously abuse those filter options on nearly every single shot.

4) We hit "Share" and turn on "Posterous" in Instagram.

5) It loads, shares out, and appears here.

It's almost automatic, which is important because we are lazy, and many times too busy trying to convince Coco that naps are a good idea to expend much effort.
