How Not To Pull Your Car Out Of The Snow

Pulling your plastic car out of the snow by hooking the bumper to a tow strap is probably not the smartest idea.

All you need to know about moblogs in Australia

Step 1) Purchase a mobile phone that has a camera and make sure your Mobile provider supports MMS messages (almost all of them do). I have a Nokia N70 Series 60 Smartphone with a 2 Megapixel camera. And I use Vodafone Australia for my mobile provider on the $79 supercap plan with $500 worth of value each month. I find this combo works great (although their customers service is not brilliant - usually takes a few calls to get someone who knows what they are talking about)

Step 2) Sign up to Google's Blogger service to get your free blog (this one your reading now is a Blogger blog)



Step 3) Sign up to Yahoo's Flickr photo hosting service. Then follow this guide and this guide to setup posting to your blog via MMS from your phone. You will need the login details for your blogger blog.



Basically you need to enable post via email for flickr, then also enable auto post to blog.

Once you do that Flicker will give you an email address that will post straight to your blog from your phone.

Step 4) Create a new MMS on your phone and send it to the blog email address that flickr provided in step 3 (not the normal post via email one).

Ta Da! a few seconds later the picture, title and message should automatically appear on your blogger blog!

Note: I suggest you use the 'small' preview size in flickr when it auto posts to the blog. The large one can make the blog page blow out!

Alternative - Just sign up with Telstra for your mobile and Internet and all of this is supported by default.. only problem is your stuck on a contract with both of those. Not my cup of tea but they do have the best setup out of the box if your happy to be on a contract.

This is my new moblog

Scrap the other one at moblogs.com.au (crap).

Use flickr and a blogger blog together.. it's much better!
