Finally completed a rather convoluted setup that’ll enable me to blog from my mobile phone.

Now let’s see if this works…

(edit)
Cool, it works!

What I did was to set up a mail server, register a “secret” email address at this server, and use the “Post by e-mail” feature provided by WordPress!

The default functionality did not work out of the box, and I had to install a plugin called “Postie” to get it to work.

Now I can send emails to this “secret” email address… and Postie will automatically pick up and post the contents of any emails sent to this address, as though they were posted by me!

All in all, a good night’s work! (if I can say so myself)

Oh, for god’s sake.
Not *another* BB app that cannot connect through BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service)… and SK Telecom has no concrete plans yet to support Direct TCP connections on their BlackBerry devices. To make things worse, the folks working on WordPress for BlackBerry don’t have any ETA on the availability of BIS connection either.

This makes the app practically unusable for me, because the only place where I have free WiFi access is my home, and I won’t have any real reason to use WordPress for BlackBerry over other full-blown weblog clients (or even a web browser).

Oh, well.

Testing out the new beta WordPress client for BlackBerry. Seeing as how it’s an official client (albeit a beta), I have high hopes for it!
