I tried Blogging on the go and got used to it. What I’d like to do is Blog from an iPhone.

Around November last year, I attempted posting through WAP using my cellphone. Sometimes I’d get the post fully done, while others I’d get the phone resetting back to the standard menu screen.

I’ve tried using ‘WAP’ sites for posting through, but they get the same results. For blogging on the run, I’d recommend at least a PDA minimum. Granted, you might not have a hotspot your on, but you can always save the entry until you get to one around the corner.

Well, blogging by email “on the run” would count if you were emailing from your cell or pda. ;-) If you are blogging from email via your laptop or something that you have to stop and sit down, that’s blogging on the road. “On the run” blogging would be blogging while moving. ;-)

I’ve “tried” to blog on the road, you know, with a laptop, possibly a camera, and WiFi, but I was never successful. WiFi was always not available whenever I lugged my Dell 640m with me (it’s quite heavy!).

Does blogging by E-mail count? I used to do that, before wordpress.com, because I use E-mail as a major conversation platform. Sometimes I’d like to get the thoughts to the public blog as well and prefer not to have to switch media.

Of course, you’d still need a connection of some sort to the world-wide ether.

[I suspect that conversations (even if only with self and other, Erving Goffman) via E-mail are somewhat different than those via blog posts (content? expressiveness? detail? subject matter?)]

I use a laptop with built in WIFI but it’s never enough, so I use an “amped up” WIFI PC card with my laptop. When that doesn’t work, I use a Cantenna from Wireless Garden to “boost” my range and pick up from a farther distance. It’s a pain. I could use a cell phone PC Card by Sprint or others but the cost can be outrageous.

I don’t do blog-breaking news blogging. It’s just how I connect as I travel so much with my work and life. No land connections, only what I can beg, borrow and steal.

I sometimes blog from my phone (and even post pictures with the text) but I find it highly annoying at best.

I’m trying to find some way to “video blog” via phone, and if anybody has any ideas, let me know.

Why not blog from a laptop instead?

Gee.. That’s very “high-tech” of you guys! :)

But then again, I don’t do ground-breaking business on my blog so I don’t see the urgency to blog with my phone :)
