A NEW APP FOR STEEMIT HAS JUST BEEN RELEASED

It's called STEEM PAD and and it's available at the Google Play Store.

You can do all sorts of cool stuff with it because it works a bit like a combination of a sketch pad and a memo pad.

So you can use it on your Android phone or tablet, to write or draw with your finger tip, copy and paste images and edit them with your finger, run effects on the images, do paint bucket fills, add text, and change the colors of things.

And when you are finished, you just press the share button, and it uploads the whole thing to Steemit with all your personal preset information, including your signature and any other defaults you have set up.

Here is my first go at using it:

But before you go and start looking for that box of Kleenex, now I'm going to bum you out.

This is a load of bollocks. But I do think an app like this would be really cool.

On Saturday night while I was baked off my nut, @kiwideb turned on the New Zealand election live coverage.

Jeepers politicians and the people who discuss them are a bunch of tools.

Jerry Brownlee's neck is still giving me nightmares...

Bored out of my mind I started thinking about a new sort of interface I'd like to see on Steemit, because doing everything with a keyboard is a bit of a restriction.

Like politics, none of this is real, but cheer up, now I'll tell you how to do it anyway.

Set up a blank document (I sized this one 800px wide by 4000px tall) in Photoshop and draw, copy and paste, or use text, all in as many layers as you like.

Then save a copy of the image for web as a jpg and add it to your post.

You could instead use GIMP (which is free)

Then you really can use Steemit like a pen and paper and post all the fruitloops stuff that is on your mind. You no longer have to be a slave to the keyboard.

This post was compiled using a paper and pen, Markdown Pad, Photoshop CS6, a Canon Scanner, and a Wacom Artpad
