To post you can set up Flickr to take emails and photos and post them to your WordPress or Blogger blog.

You can painlessly blog to Blogger by email.

I set up email notification of all comments and new members to an email I use for nothing but that.  This gives me a heads up that there is activity and I’ve found I can approve comments and post comments from my internet enabled smart phones to Blogger or WordPress.

Starbucks will be doling out 2 hours free wifi daily this spring to those with registered Starbucks card.  Register yours now and beat the rush.  But who wants to hang out in Starbucks all day?

I purchased a data card for my laptop.  All the major wireless phone companies have them.  The price is about $30-$250, a $30 card works just fine.  All you care about is the speed of the network the card is using.  Be sure to ask about that when you buy your card.  You can get pcmcia or usb cards.  The monthly charge is about $70/month.

And just recently I stumbled across iPhone/WM Plugin for WP Blogs. This lets you do all the usual admin chores from your iPhone or WM phone. Install and activate the plugin on your WordPress blogs and your good to go.

You can blog from your cell phone using text messaging, picture mail or email. I use it on TimesToCome Mobile Blog occasionally.

Blogger Mobile will get you started. The process is simple. You send a text message to blogger and it sends you back a token. You log on and connect your blog to your phone, or start up a new blog connected to your phone number.

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.
