I have been trying out a couple of interesting blogging tools, which explains why this picture appeared !
What I was looking to be able to do was to post pictures and WordPress entries directly from my phone to go into the blog. I know for all you iphone lovers this is now easy on WordPress, however Symbian S60 users on Nokia etc. can do it also.
To post pictures and video there is ShoZu which is very easy to use and as you can see above drops any picture from your camera phone as a new blog entry. (It’s the Fountain outside Sheffield Railway Station by the way). ShoZu doesn’t just stop there as there are many other features linking into other sites and tools (I counted 53 sites) enabling you to keep up to date with Twitter or to check and change you Facebook status etc. etc.
To post blog entries from your phone as new WordPress posts I found two solutions Scribe and Wavelog. Scribe needs Python to be running on your phone and doesn’t seem to have a way of loading media files, but I prefer Wavelog for simplicity – although in the free version you can only post text not media (although the full version is only $10).
If you’ve tried any of these or know of alternative ways to do mobile blog posting from a Symbian phone please leave a comment.
