Yes, you are right! You can actually post to your blog using a mobile phone. This feature is very helpful for people who needs to go from one place to another every day and they cannot access a computer along the way. However, it is not that powerful compared to WordPress and other real mobile blogging platforms. Blogging on the go is very simple with Blogger; all you need is a functioning cellphone with text or multimedia capability. Any smartphone or your average mobile phone will do. You only need to connect that device to Blogger and follow the steps below.
How to activate mobile blogging:
1. Go to the Settings menu in the left side of the new Blogger interface.
2. Click the mobile and email option.
3. Click the “add a mobile device” link.
4. Blogger will automatically generate a random code for you. (For non-US users) You need to type the code in your mobile phone and then send it go@blogger.com. If you are just using a normal phone with no MMS capability, you can send the code by text to 256447 (BLOGGR). Once Blogger receives the code and validates it, you can now start posting to your blog using your mobile phone. Note: Your mobile carrier will charge you in every transaction that you will make but Blogger will not.
5. To post to your blog, simply send MMS, SMS, or Email messages to go@blogger.com or 256447 anytime you want and it will automatically published on your blog without any sweat. NOTE: You cannot forward emails from a webmail gateway. You can only send photos with a limit of 250K size each. If you will send larger than this, a prompt will say that you need to choose smaller pictures in order to send the message successfully. In sending SMS, the number of characters you can use to send one message is limited to your phone’s capability.
General Notes:
1. If you want to cancel text message replies, text STOP to BLOGGR.
2. If you want to unlink your device from Blogger, text UNREGISTER to BLOGGR. You repeat the registration to another blog if you wish.
3. If you have other questions, text HELP to BLOGGR (256447).
