Phone Tips And Tricks 1

Build a blogIn Blog From Your Cell Phone, MacLife's Susie Ochs describes how to, well, blog from your cell phone. What's interesting about it is that you can actually create a new blog from your phone, just by sending a text or photo SMS to go@blogger.com.

In short order, you'll receive a reply listing your new blog's URL and a "claim code" to enter at go.blogger.com. From there you have the option of routing mobile posts to the new blog or an existing one. Choose a template (if necessary) and you're done. You'll see your initial SMS; any additional posts sent to that same e-mail address will instantly appear on your blog. Pretty nifty way to insta-blog your vacation, night on the town or random thoughts.

Share photos and videos

Blogger is all well and good for posting text and the occasional snapshot, but it's not exactly a multimedia powerhouse. If you want to insta-share photos or even videos of, say, Britney Spears' latest wardrobe malfunction or your boss dancing on a table, look to services like JuiceCaster and pickle. After setting up an account (both sites are free), you simply shoot your snaps and clips to a special e-mail address. This creates personalized content channels you can view/share/edit online or add to other sites (like Blogger, eBay and MySpace). I have to give Pickle the nod in the ease-of-use department, but I like JuiceCaster's embeddable MediaBox. Guess you'll have to try them both.
