I do it old school.
When I blog, I go to my email application and open my editor. I have my email application open anyway because it's the second application I start when I open my desktop. The first application I open is my browser - mozilla firefox. For the rest of my desktop session, these two apps remain open with the browser taking most of the system resource. I don't use my smartphone for blogging. I avoid using my smartphone for blogging even if I can use the app in it. I really need the keyboard for typing and composing text. While it is very easy to take a picture and send it to my blog as a blog post, text is a different matter. My hands and fingers prefer the physical keyboard. My brain is also wired to work the traditional keyboard.
The smartphone has made it convenient to snap a picture, modify the picture and upload the image to my blog as a stand alone post. If you're traveling and you have a travel blog, this is just perfect. I want to tell a story and I can tell a story with a picture. For most of what I write about I prefer doing it with words and images. The GIF The GIF has been my generation's go to image format since blogging exploded and the Harry Potter films captured the audience imagination with its gif posters.
Wordpress offers an online compose page. I can edit text and upload an image in the compose page. 
All you need is an Internet connection. But I always use the email application to create my blogs and not through these built-in functionalities of the various blogging sites.
I wonder how many of you prefer it this way too.
