Moblogging with MT

UPDATE

Typepad has moblogging built in but what can you do with MT. There are certain scripts you could setup on your servers. Pop2Blog is one such script, and another is pop3-to-blog. However with these scripts you would need to setup cron jobs to scan your emails and then post to MT.

That's when I found Mfop2

Mfop2 allows you to moblog without setting up any special scripts on your own mail server. To use Mfop2, all you have to do is register some of your blog details and you will be able to post to your blog from your mobile by emailing your blog entry with images attached to mfop2@bastish.net.

Another interesting option is mobileMT

mobileMT is a WAP interface for the MovableType publishing system written in PHP.

Hello,

Some other Moblog options that I have found useful:

www.phlog.net - a very simple and cool moblog service

http://www.rowlff.de/simsi/ - a fantastic PHP script that requires minimum effort to setup on your web site. I tried using billions of other 'pop2blog' etc CGI stuff and it never worked properly. This php script is a dream

Michael
