how to moblog to stlbloggers

If you have a Sprint PCS camera phone you can MOBLOG to stlboggers.com directly from your phone. Here's how you get set up.

Go to the "Account Settings" page via the toolbar at the top of stbloggers:



Enter your Sprint PCS phone's email address (by default in this format, phone number @ messaging.sprintpcs.com) into the "Email Address" field. Mark the checkbox. Enter "moblog" in the "Sidebar" field.



Save your new Account Settings via the Task menu:



That's it for the server. Now add a contact into your phone who's email address is www@stlbloggers.com. I gave the contact the name "*stlbloggers" so that it'd be first in my contact book. Now just use send a Sprint PCS "picture mail" to that contact. The picture will appear on the stlbloggers moblog sidebar as soon as you send it.

Even if you don't have a Sprint PCS phone, you can contribute camera pics to the sidebar manually. When editing a blog entry expose the "advanced" attributes by clicking the double-chevron button:



Enter "moblog" into the "Sidebar" field:


If you publish to the moblog manually PLEASE only publish pictures, not text, and verify that they are 240x180 or smaller.

If you need help or you can help us get this working with other cell phone network providers by sending us some test mail, please send an email to support@bloghorn.com.

i assume you are aware that twitter has stopped showing pings. i really liked that feature, and i am hoping you are trying to fix it! :)

I'm also having a pinging issue -- when I ping (and I use firefox) I have to log in, ping, go to the main page, log in again, and ping again.

Stlbloggers is living on a temporary server which isn't honoring cookies for more than half an hour.

I'll kick it this weekend.

market at mcknight is mostly empty. don't imagine that's going to change anytime soon with the current economy. they should have left the neighborhood there.

I can log in, but when I ping, it tells me I have an invalid user name.

Before the outage, I never had to re-login from the computers I use most often. I don't think I entered a password for months. Now I have to login everytime before I can ping. Maybe its a different symptom of the same issue?

Ever since that "mostly dead" incident, I have to log out then log back in every time I want to ping. Is this happening to anyone else, or just me?

Stick a "http://" a the beginning of your URL.
