I'm sitting at work and I realize there hasn't been a post here yet today. So, I figure I'd take a photo of what I was working on at the moment and have it on here in a matter of a few minutes.
No chance.
The EDGE network, which I have to use at work since there is no accessible WiFi, is terribly slow. So slow that I couldn't log into my Photobucket account to send the photo that I'd taken to blogger.com. It was so bad, I abandoned hope and decided to do this post the old fashioned way.
While I'm taking a break from work, I might as well explain how I'm getting photos from my iPhone to this blog.
I take a photo with the iPhone, then email it to Photobucket. Blogger.com has mobile blogging capabilities, but I'm not really sending photos from a phone. I'm sending them from an email account, which I think tripped up the process there. It didn't work when I initially tried. So, I went the Photobucket route.
Once in Photobucket, I resize the image to their Web specs and then choose to share it with blogger.com. I had been doing all the HTML coding myself within my blog posts to link to the URL of each file on Photobucket, but using the sharing option starts a new post automatically and the HTML is there waiting for me. The only negative I can see in doing it this way is that blog posts from the iPhone will be limited to one photo. If I do the coding myself, I could have more, but without being able to cut and paste on the iPhone, it's a giant pain the iAss.
