Mobile phone blogging is a pain

OK, so I had to try it - but thinking it would be easy to snap a photo, upload it using Blogger's mobile phone service, and having a neat posting done in a minute or two, is wishful thinking. Perhaps on other devices, but not so good on the HP514 I have decided.

It's a great little phone, and does plenty of other things really well for me, but I think that Blog514 will soon become assigned to the cyber-rubbish bin. Maybe I will leave the mobile blogging turned on in my account, but for this blog instead, just in case I am aver somewhere to get a scoop for the blogosphere.

I've started a new mobile photo blog

Just so you know, I have started a new blog, to test out mobile blogging of photos taken on a cell phone and uploaded directly from the phone to Blogger. I have put a few photos up already, nothing too spectacular, but now that I know it all seems to be working, I will try and remember to take quick snaps of interesting or unusual things I might come across in my work and travels and family life.

There is a feed for the Blog 514 pages, here in Just Visiting this Planet. I called it Blog 514 after my new HP 514 Voice Messenger phone, which has replaces my trusty old Nokia 6600 and Palm TX with a single wifi enabled device.

Fortunately, I have been able to sell my Palm to a buddy for just £9 less than the new phone cost me in an after Christmas special offer from HP. Hopefully that is win-win for both of us!
