A couple of months ago, we told you about Blog It powered by TypePad, the first cross-platform blogging application for Facebook the enables you to post to your Vox blog - and ALL your blogs - with a single click.

Within a week, Blog It had nearly 4,000 active users posting tweets and creating blog posts, as well as updating their status messages with the title and link to the published post. Today, Blog It's Facebook application has nearly 10,000 users. But here's the thing: You're not always sitting in front of the computer when the inspiration to blog strikes. And at Six Apart, it is our goal to provide you the tools you need need to blog where you want, and when you want.

Which is why this week we introduced Blog It for iPhone, a free web application just like the one we introduced for Facebook - only now - on your iPhone. Built specifically for iPhone's Safari browser, Blog It for iPhone enables you to post blog entries or status updates from wherever you are to more than a dozen different online services. And just like the original Facebook version, you can choose to share your posts with the people you know across various social networks.

To start blogging with Blog It for iPhone, go to  http://blogit.typepad.com with your iPhone's Safari browser and install the Blog It icon onto your mobile desktop. Then, all you have to do is click the Blog It icon and start creating posts!

Whether you're riding the bus to work, cheering on your team courtside, or enjoying a picnic by the lake, now it's easier than ever to Blog It.

Ever stop to think about how many places on the web you post about your life? For many of us, we're posting on multiple blogs, as well as Facebook, Twitter and Pownce. That's a lot of time spent just to make sure all of our friends and family across the web are caught up on our lives. And while it's incredibly important to stay connected to everyone, at Six Apart, we don't think it should be quite so complicated to do so. That is why we've taken another step in our ongoing effort to create better tools for bloggers, no matter what publishing platforms you use.

We are excited to announce that today, Six Apart launched the first cross-platform blogging application for Facebook -- Blog It powered by TypePad. Blog It brings some of the best social networking aspects of Facebook to blogging, making it easy to blog or micro-blog from within Facebook. It doesn't matter if you blog using Vox, TypePad, Movable Type, LiveJournal, Blogger, Tumblr, WordPress.com or WordPress.org, or micro-blog using Twitter, Pownce or your Facebook status... Now you can update everything and everyone via one easy-to-create post on Facebook.

Plus, after you've posted using Blog It, you can choose to automatically share your post  via Twitter and Pownce, in addition to the Facebook news feed. While a lot of other Facebook applications rely solely on the news feed to share your activity, Blog It is unique in that it helps you notify everyone you know across the web about what you're creating -- not just your Facebook friends.

Ready to try it out? Just add the Blog It application on Facebook and take a minute to add all your accounts. From there, you can create new blog posts and share them with your friends on Facebook, Twitter and Pownce, all just by ticking a few extra boxes. Watch this screencast to preview how Blog It works.
