Ok so I had a little play around with this when I first got my K800 but not to any great depth, I set up an account on blogspot but never published anything.

I've recently found out that my missus is up the duff and I thought as im goin soft in my old age that i'd make a kind of diary on my experiences as father to be...

How good is this blogging collaboration?! I'm impressed, I just uploaded my first picture, not attached to any user, it simply sends you a text with a code so you can edit the blog via a pc, going online to do this it can attach the published item, to your existing blog which inturn uploads anything you publish via your phone... not only that but you have a nice little RSS feed too (although there is a problem, the RSS will connect to the temp blog before attached to your existing account, you have to delete it and manually input the feed, although it doesnt tell you the rss feed only the atom one, which doesnt work - so for future reference, anyone who wants to set up a feed from there blogspot it will be http://Your_Login_Nam.blogspot.com/rss.xml or in my case http://minstrelman.blogspot.com/rss.xml )

Anyone else set one of these up yet and impressed as I am are people having problems?

Blogging from your phone sounds reallly good. It will be nice to read of your fatherhood experiences

How easy is it to upload a picture - is it just like sending a picture message?

easier.....

you dont input any number, just auto uploads to a blog then you recieve a text on how to access it online, at which point you can attach it to another profile (if you've already created one) then all future uploads go to that account.

Congratulations. The site looks very slick also. I'll have to give it a go, although I rarely have much to say! Presumably the photos are re-sized before being uploaded? Don't fancy paying for large file transfers and can't be bothered changing the photo settings each time.

Yeah, the Bloggin feature is great. I used to do it on my old K750 via an email message with attachments but this is so much easier!

BTW, nice site, but I preferred your girlfriends!

I'm new to all this blog stuff, so forgive me if this is stupid. But is there anyway I can upload to myspace? Or have an area in myspace for a blogged picture?

I've come across a couple of niggles though, you can have more than 1 blog under an account, I want my dad to be diary as well as a blog for all random stuff from when im out and about, you cant seem to be able to switch which blog u upload too.

Also, I'd like to be able to upload just text without having to navigate through the web browser, like taking a picture and choosing "upload to blog" i'd like to be able to write a text message and have the option to send that to my blog, so that I dont have to upload a photo with every text.
