So I’ve managed to figure out how to moblog directly from my phone to this site (coming through Flickr on the way).

For those that give a fuck, I discovered that the easy way to do it was to send an email from my phone (having previously set up my phone to send/receive POP3/SMTP) with the picture attached. What I didn’t realise was that my T-Mobile Flext plan gives me lots of minutes, texts, and picture messages, but no data allowance. Doing it that way was going to get pretty expensive pretty fast.

However, seeing as picture messages (or MMSs - remember them?) don’t count as mobile data as such, this was the way forward, as you can still send a picture message to an email address.

Flickr allows you to set up an email address for sending pictures to. It further allows you to set up another email address for sending pictures to and firing them into a blog template. It also integrates with most of the blog big boys, Wordpress included.

I shall follow this post with a second test to make sure it still works and that I haven’t managed to fuxx0r it in some way since the previous test. Also, be warned…

Expect drunken photoblogging.
