Checkking Out Blogger from the iPad

OK here I am at Blogger and discover that there are some editing tools. I can make something Bold however it is using the HTML codes to do that. I have to think it will hide those when publishing. Once again no Spell Check and, although I can add a picture I can't add a picture. The page is there but did not work for me. I keep feeling like we have gone ahead 3 steps but back 10.
