Use your cell phone to post to your blog from your Flickr account

without comments

You can post picture mail to your blog using your Flickr account.

You log onto your Flickr account.
Go to You->Your account

and set up which blog to post to from Flickr. Be sure to set your message body to post. That will be the text of the post. Your subject line in your picture mail will be your blog post title. Set the layout to a style you like and to the correct picture size for that blog.

In your account information you’ll see two email addresses. One is to email pictures to Flickr. One is to email a picture to Flickr and automatically post it to the blog you set up. Be sure to have those stored and handy in your cell phone.

10 Step Install for WordPress on OSX

without comments

Instructions for Leopard, OSX 10.5 are here

Setting up WordPress on my home computer was supposed to be painless but did not turn out that way at all.

If you are installing WordPress on OSX and everything is set up and working but WordPress will not talk to the server skip right to step 10 on the instruction page. Or better go to MySQL Reference for OSX there are a few solutions on that page. I took the easy one.

Another great set of instructions for setting up WordPress on OSX is Installing WordPress on Tiger. It is a very easy to follow set of instructions. I had to go look up a few things that weren’t covered there. I hope I covered everything in my directions.
