Blog Basics 5: Posting to Your Blog from Your Cellphone

Set up your blog first so you can post via an email address. Take a photo if your phone has a camera and then store it in your phone.

Then you need to create an email or an MMS message, depending on your phone’s configuration. How to do this will vary from phone to phone. This is how to do it on a Nokia N95 phone.

Back in the contact list click on Options and Create Message:

and then Multimedia message:

In the subject field add a title for your post and add some text in the text field:

If you want to insert a picture scroll to the end of the text and then select Insert Object from the Options menu, and then Image:

Select a picture and then it will appear in your message below the text you’ve entered:

When you’re ready to send the post, click on the green button or Options and then Send:

When the message is being sent you should see a little icon in the top right hand corner looking like an in tray:

Once the message has been sent the icon will disappear:

Check your blog to see if the message has appeared, either by typing in the address, or on the View Blog link on your settings page:

If the message didn’t appear, try again by going into the Message menu and scrolling down to the Sent option:

Insert the email address from your Contacts list and then send it again.

If you need to edit the post once it has appeared on the blog, just click on the pencil icon below the post:

The post will appear in the same editing window you used in Posting to Your Blog.

  • Facebook’s daunting Asian challenge February 3, 2012
    Here's a piece I pulled together with the help of Reuters reporters Andjarsari Paramaditha, Camilo Mejia and Estelle Griepink in JAKARTA, Harichandan Arakali in BANGALORE, Lee Chyen Yee in HONG KONG, Kazunori Takada in SHANGHAI and Harry Suhartono in SINGAPORE. Facebook aims to connect all two billion Internet users. So far it has captured 845 [...]
  • The Tablet is the Computer January 24, 2012
    One thing discussed often and at great length in nerdy circles these days is this: Is the tablet—by which we really mean the Apple iPad, because it created the market, and presently accounts for nearly two thirds of it—a computer. A PC, if you will? Some say that the iPad is not really a computer. [...]

  • The Google Dilemma January 14, 2012
    Once we lived in simpler times. Google was a search engine that made its money off ads that were based on what we searched for. Look for cocoa and you'd get an ad for hot chocolate alongside the search results. Google made lots of money from this and we got our hot chocolate. This worked [...]

  • The Browser Doesn’t Matter So Long As It Goes to Google December 25, 2011
    The whole Google/Firefox issue is an interesting one: Google is the default search engine in Firefox because it pays to be there. The three-year deal expired in November 2011. Would they renew? Some thought no. They were wrong. Not only has Google renewed the deal whereby it effectively bankrolls Firefox, but it's the first time [...]
  • Dragon Tattoo: Mac or Vaio? December 23, 2011
    Some folk have suggested that because Sony is behind the new version of the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo all the product placements are Vaio: This would be a slap in the face of the original novel and the Swedish version, which stuck pretty closely to the text. But I'm not sure. Here's another picture [...]
  • Inside the Web of Things December 21, 2011
    This is a slightly longer version of a piece I've recorded for the BBC World Service I've long dreamed of an Internet of things, where all the stuff in my life speaks to each other instead of me having to the talking. The vision is relatively simple: each gadget is assigned an Internet address and [...]
