I’ve decided that having to seperate blogs is just stupid. I know I have moved and changed and re-arranged a few dozen times up to now, but hell, I can do whatever I want! Maybe this is also part of me being the kind of person that tries to catagorize everything exactly. Too exactly. So this is a merge. Use the categories navigation in the sidebar to filter posts…

Hmm, the box for the heading is missing?! BLOGGER!?

Found an interesting blogging utility last nite. It allows you to blog directly from within Firefox and post to your blog.
You can do some text editing, and also do the HTML yourself if you feel the need.
It can also show you stats on your blog, technorati and del.icio.us information on the page currently viewed.

This is my first post using it, so lets see how it goes…

Why do I need to post the image with a blog entry before I can use it?

Anyhow, I’ve registered at bloglines.com also, havent played around with that much yet, so we’ll see if it’s useful soon.

Uploaded a whole bunch of pictures to flickr and realised how easy it is to reach the 200 image limit. So I subscribed for a year! I was brainwashed! I still think it was worth it

Also, I’ve added links for feed readers. The XML image will give you an Atom xml feed, and there’s also a link to add my feed to your bloglines.
I’ve decided that for now I will only do Atom, since it’s doing it the right way:

To quote from the wiki:
“Atom, from a technical perspective, is an open standard that includes both:
* an XML-based web syndication format used by weblogs, news websites and web mail and,
* an HTTP-based protocol for remote editing of Atom-based weblogs”

See:
Wiki on Atom
Wiki on RSS

Later!

I’ve decided to not make any final decisions regarding all this options available. I want to try out everything for a decent amount of time so that I can make a informed conclusion. Only then will I pick a certain site over another.

Shuzo (check my links) is a real nice tool to blog from your phone.

Let’s see how it goes…

A friend of mine sent me this link. Now this is exactly what I need to make blogging from the fone easier…don’t you think?

I’m starting to wonder why I need textamerica? They do allow you to make use of some nice flash photo collage thingies, like the one on the right of this blog.

Here’s more detail on Shozu:

shozu can be used to post to various diff destinations, including:

-blogger
-buzznet
-flickr
-textamerica
-kodak easyshare gallary
-typepad
-webshots
-wordpress

This is quite a range of services that you can set as your destination for media sent via shozu!!

In my book this gives it alot of extra points, well done Shozu!

Introduction
I have a problem. At first my intention for this post was just to find ways I can blog from my new phone. Then, as my research continued, I realised that there is much more to this than I initially thought. I not only want to manage all the pictures that I gather from my phone, but also those that I acquire either from my camera, the web, friends or wherever. Some images needs to be bloggable, be it directly from the phone, or from something on my computer. And then, I want to be able to create blog entries without images too. If you have any experience with this, you would realise that this opens a myriad of possibilities and questions for someone with very limited experience with all this

So that brings me back to my problem. My initial title “Mobile Blogging” (which already changed to ‘Mobile Blogging – Part 1′) will not work anymore. An article needs a fitting title, don’t you think? Now I’m thinking somewhere along the lines of “Mobile Blogging and Picture Management”. That sounds boring. It does give the reader a better idea of what’s going on though…
How about “Mobile Blogging with picture organisation and other nifty stuff…”? Hmm. People just won’t take that serious. Then again, life shouldn’t be serious, so that will have to suffice…

Background
I’ve recently upgraded to a N70 and having Symbian + 3G available suddenly opens alot of interesting new doors. I’m trying to figure out what the best way would be to go about blogging; both when I’m at my PC and when I’m out with just my phone.

Over the following days/weeks/months I will try to capture my experience with this experiment here, and include all the useful information that I come across.
If you have any comments, suggestions or bright ideas that you think can help me ease the journey, feel free to post a comment.

Right, I think that will do for the introduction, let start off with a rough layout of what I have thisfar…

What I have sofar…
I currently have the following to play with:

Blog hosting

Photos

Software

I will create another posting as soon as I have some more info. Something tells me the urgency factor of my type A personality will ensure that it happens within the next couple of hours!

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.
