How to photo blog from your smart phone to your WordPress or Blogger blog

without comments

Any phone that has a camera and email will let you post to your blog via Flickr.  Most blogging software will work.  I’ve used this from my Palm, WM phone and from my iPhone.

You can just as easily blog to your WordPress blog as to your via Flickr.

First set things up with Flickr->Log on->Go to You->YourAccount->Go to Extending Flickr->Go to Your Blogs->Edit

You can then add a blog [Blogger and WordPress are painless to set up] Just give it the url and user name and password. You can also adjust the how the layout of the post will appear. Flickr will give you an email address which you can attach pictures and write a post. Any email sent to that address will be posted to your Flickr account and to your blog.

Dashwire for WM 5 and 6 allows instant backups of your phone

without comments

Dashwire offers an excellent free service for your WM phone. It backs up your phone to an online account at Dashwire as you take pictures, receive texts etc.

It provides a Palm like desktop interface that allows you to back up and edit contacts, pictures etc. You can also create a webpage to share your photos and media.

Most interestingly it instantly backs up your texts to your desktop program. You can sit at your computer and receive and respond to texts from the desktop and it will send them from your phone.
