Remote Blog Post

by · Published · Updated

Lifehacker referenced a tool the other day that was ‘going to make blog posting easier,’ so I had to give it a try. I did. I can see how this might be useful for phone postings, but with the recent CrackBerry (and the like) addictions that have been rampant in my friendly circle, I think directly logging into the blog and posting will be the easier way to go.

Note: this post started off as a remote blog post through email, and then I edited it with the link and the last sentence. Be warned, it will post your signature (if you have one assigned).

James Nunn keeps himself busy running his business, volunteering when possible, hosting exchange students, sticking his nose into social issues but is generally considered a good guy. He loves to keep track of things using technology. He has a waning social media presence and is an occasional blogger capturing life's little (and big) moments. He was born in Australia, but now lives in New Orleans, Louisiana (USA) with his husband and two dogs.

    I saw the same post on Lifehacker. Interesting idea but I’d prefer to not go thru a 3rd party to post to my own blog. I’m testing a couple of apps for the palm, but I’d prefer a wap extension for the wordpress admin. Unfortunately, I don’t think one exists. Guess I have to search for another solution.

    Btw, I’m reading your blog and replying via the Treo 🙂

    I don’t use anything so flash as to be phone incorporated, but I was referred by a friend to Windows Live Writer, it’s currently a Beta version, but I’ve been running it without issue since I arrived in the U.S.A. back in August.
    Makes life easier, you can post into the future, and edit, and post to your hearts content without a connection, and upload next time you’ve connectivity.

    Works for me, and enough that I’m happy to recommend it.
