Back in the good old days (and even today), blogging was predominantly a notebook/laptop phenomena. For a lot of text, the notebook is the device preferred for creation. But then, with services like Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest, etc. coming up from all sides, blogging has shifted from a predominantly text-only process to a lot of media.
Reblogs, re-pins and a lot of similar phrases are the testimony to the fact that people can now blog from their iPhones and iPads. In fact, longer blog posts are being typed on iPad too.
There are tons of popular blogging platforms, but not everyone uses all the new class of blogging platforms. In fact, WordPress and Blogger are still two very commonly used platforms with Tumblr climbing the ladder rapidly in recent times.
