Creating a 2nd Blog w/ iPad
-
How can I create a second blog with my iPad?
When I hit “create blog,” nothing happens. I tried downloading your Ap, but that doesn’t provide any way to start a second blog, only to make changes to an existing blog.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there!
Sometimes after you successfully create a new blog with the app, it’s not automatically added to your list of blogs. So you may have to go through the process of adding it before it will appear. This can be down by tapping Settings > Add a Blog> Add a WordPress.com Blog.
For what it’s worth, I can see that you created a new blog (lacosaesque.wordpress.com) just about 12 hours ago, so it seems that it was created, maybe just not added to the iOS app.
Try adding your new blog and seeing what happens then. Let me know if you run into any trouble! :) Thanks!

I created the new blog with my PC. WordPress just wouldn’t work with my iPad. (I had already tried the steps you suggested, but, as I said before, “create blog” just didn’t do anything.)

John,
Hmm, that is strange. I had a couple colleagues of mine test out the site creation process on their iPads and it worked OK for them.
Could you try updating the WordPress app to the latest version as well as your iPad’s iOS operating system? If they’re out of date that might be causing an odd glitch.
If that still doesn’t work, let me know and I’ll see if I can grab an iPad from a colleague for some more testing.
Thanks!

Thanks, Adam,
But, as I said, I just downloaded your app, so unless you’re providing people with an old version of your app through Apple’s app store, then I do have the latest version. And I also have the latest iOS.
That said, note that my problem wasn’t creating a FIRST blog, but a SECOND blog. So did you have your colleagues try to create TWO blogs? In fact, I don’t think your App even has a place where that could be done. (Do you see one?) Yes, your website theoretically makes this possible–but it didn’t work for me. (I just kept hitting the “create blog” button with no response.)
That said, and not to be rude, but at this point I just don’t have that much energy to put into it. I already created a second blog with no problem on my PC. (When I sent the original email to which you responded, I was just trying to avoid going ALL THE WAY HOME to fetch my PC.)
That said, I remain convinced that one cannot create two WP blogs, at least not consecutively, using an iPad. Feel free to prove me wrong. I hope you do prove me wrong, but at this point that would be for the benefit of future bloggers, and I will never believe it.
Best,

John,
I had one of my colleagues use the app to create two blogs, one right after the other. He took some screenshots for me, which are below.
Tap settings and then Add a Blog:
Tap Create a WordPress.com blog:
Fill out the info as you desire and tap Create WordPress.com Blog:
Two blogs created, both using the iPad app:
As you said, if this isn’t working for you, you can always use a desktop computer to create additional blogs. Then you would just need to add them by tapping Add WordPress.com Blog on this screen:
You might also trying inquiring over in the iOS forum at WordPress.org. That forum is here:

Let me know how it goes! :) Thanks!

John,
I’m sorry the app has presented these frustrations. If you’d like us to troubleshoot the problem further with you, just let me know.
Thanks you.

Adam, YOU are the only thing I’m frustrated with right now. You wouldn’t even pass the Turing Test. What part of “I already created the 2nd blog with my PC” don’t you understand?
