"mobile"-blogging - any ideas/existing solutions?

Question

hi

does anyone know any sort of app that lets users visit a page on their mobile phone, enter information and have it update the website

i believe the term is "mobile-blogging" but there isn't all that much on google

or, is there any good resources for coding pages specifically for a mobile phone? I could probably design a script to insert blog posts on a site but not sure how it would work with a mobile.

thanks for any pointers

Answer 1

Simply use web browsing apps like Opera Mini, and it will work with many of the existing blog services out there. (My Opera blogs are naturally well adapted for Opera Mini usage as far as I know.)

Answer 2

There probably isn't an app because there isn't a need for an app. Most blogging software has a number of options/plugins for enabling "remote" blogging. Either by sending an email to a special address, or having a "theme" designed for a mobile phone. Both MoveableType/Typepad and WordPress have plugins to "blog/admin" from a mobile platform.
