About this site
Since I spend so much of my life hassling clients to update their blogs, I’ve decided to try and set an example.
But to make it more of a challenge, I’m going to write everything and upload everything you see on the site directly from my Samsung Galaxy II phone.
I originally intended to start this project 3 years ago when I purchased my previous phone, an HP Ipaq. I became surprisingly proficient at inputting text using a stylus, but the camera was a joke. After going to the extent of buying extra software to upload photos, I gave up in disappointment.
Here’s me blogging:
For those interested in the technical details, I use the WordPress for Android App to add text and upload photos.
A WordPress plugin then sends the thumbnail and image to my Amazon bucket at assets.johnp.co.nz, from where it is served to visitors.
Another plugin automatically posts an excerpt of each blog item to my Facebook wall, with the first photo. It will also import any comments made on Facebook and add them here.
