Google +1 isn't an option for mobile

Mashable and other websites have enabled Google +1. The feature only shows on the full website; mobile versions don't have a +1 option.

Even this blog has +1 enabled on the normal template; but it is not on the mobile template.

As people increasingly use mobile devices to consume content and participate online, it's important to give mobile users some consideration.

Of course, it's somewhat of a moot point because Google search results with +1 recommendations don't work on the mobile version anyway.

Some sites allow you to switch to the full version of the site, thus allowing some way to +1. Some sites will kick you back to the mobile version no matter what.

Suffice it to say, there are some kinks that need straightening out with +1.

Maybe other mobile browsers will work.

Blogger blocks excessive posting

A while ago, I tried uploading a blog post via Android App. The upload kept failing. Not to be deterred, I deleted the app and reinstalled, to find no better success. I thought that perhaps I could email the post to Blogger. That did not work either. The email bounced back with the following: Technical details of permanent failure: You have exceeded the the allowable number of posts without solving a captcha. This happened because I imported quite a few blog posts from another blog I discontinued just yesterday. It has been less than 24 hours since the import. It makes sense. I'm rather certain the captcha speedbump is also why the mobile app refused to publish my posts. The problem can be circumvented if you post directly on the Blogger site and solve the captcha. This problem will likely resolve in the next few hours and all will be right with the universe once more.
