I love blogging but being a part time blogger I rarely find a time to post a blog everyday. I used to travel a lot everyday from my home to office and vice versa.Manytimes i travel other countries also being a software consultant and having such a busy and hectic schedule it is not possible to make a post to your blog everyday. But Google is smart enough to read the mind of people what they want? Well google has launched one service Blogger mobile. The name itself clarifies what this service would be but I will take you through in and out of this great service. To post to your blog you are required to send a message - which can be a photo, some text, or both - to go@blogger.com. Google will auto-provision a new blog post and publish the post.
Steps for how to start a mobile blog:
1. You need to send an MMS to go@blogger.com to create your mobile blog. The text and/or photo in your MMS will be uploaded automatically to that blog instantly. Google will message you back the address, (so you can visit your new blog on the web) and a token (so you can claim your blog and access it from your account).
2. OPTIONAL - If you feel like changing anything on your new mobile blog or if you already have a Blogger account and want the posts to go to your existing blog, you can log in to go.blogger.com and enter the token no that you have received. You'll then have the option to claim your new mobile blog and merge it with your existing blog.
Note to users whose blog address does not contain blogspot.com: Once you make the above mentioned switch, new mobile posts will be published to your chosen blog but mobile posts published prior to the switch will not get moved automatically.
What types of messages can I send to Blogger Mobile from my phone?
MMS or Email - note this doesn't include email sent from a mobile device that actually passes through a webmail gateway (such as mail sent from your stanford.edu account from your phone).
What size photos can I send?
The size is limited to 250K each. If they exceed that size, you’ll receive a bounce message.Check your phone as well because your phone might have size limits of its own.
Is there a cost for using Blogger Mobile?
Standard rates pertaining with your service providers for sending and receiving text and photo messages apply. Blogger will not charge you additionally for any of its services.
Requirements
Text messaging-enabled mobile device with a text messaging plan. This service is free from Google but charges from your carrier for usage may apply.Sony Erricson mobile phones are integrated with blogger now.
