 On an Android tablet the cleanest setup is still the playlist trigger method, because it requires almost no typing once it is built. The tablet just needs the automation bridge installed.

You install IFTTT from the Play Store and sign in. Inside it you connect two services: YouTube and Blogger. The app will ask permission to access both accounts. Accept those so it can watch for playlist activity and publish posts.

Next, create the trigger source inside YouTube. Open the YouTube app, go to Library → Playlists, and create a new playlist. Call it something memorable like BlogQueue or PostToBlog. This playlist will act as your publishing switch.

Now return to IFTTT and build the automation.

Tap Create. The screen shows the sentence structure: If This Then That.

Choose the YouTube service for the “If This” trigger. From the list of triggers pick “New video added to playlist.” When prompted, select the playlist you just created (for example BlogQueue).

Then set the action. Tap Then That, choose the Blogger service, and select Create a post.

You can customize what appears in each blog entry. Most people format it something like this:

Title field:
{{Title}}

Body field example:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/{{VideoId}}" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Source: {{Url}}

Those bracketed variables are automatically filled by IFTTT using the YouTube data.

Save the applet. The automation is now alive.

From that moment forward your tablet workflow becomes extremely simple. While watching something in YouTube, tap Save → Add to playlist → BlogQueue. IFTTT detects the addition and creates a new Blogger post with the embedded video.

A quiet bit of trivia: automation tools like IFTTT were inspired by early UNIX scripting logic—event triggers leading to actions. It is essentially the same philosophical design used in scientific instrumentation where one sensor event activates a cascade of responses.

One practical refinement many bloggers adopt: keep two playlists, a research playlist and a publish playlist. Only the publish list is connected to Blogger. That prevents accidental posting while you are casually browsing.

If you want, I can also show you a much more powerful Android trick where the YouTube share button itself gains a “Post to Blogger” option directly in the share menu. It uses Android’s share targets and works surprisingly well on tablets.
