Using a PDA to maintain a blog

[Martin I Pettinger]

Hi

I'd like to start a blog site. What I propose to do is write my daily ramblings on my iPAQ 3850 and transfer the html files to my webspace via bluetooth using ftp software.

Last night I successfully connected to my webspace via bluetooth using some beta ftp software - if anyone wants to know more I can post in this thread on how I did it.

Anyone got any good recommendations for writing html on the PDA - i.e. software that helps you write mobile web pages as well as store them in a sensible tree structure.

Ok here you go!

AvantGo Client for Blogger

Once you have set up accounts with Blogger and AvantGo and installed the AvantGo client, you can add the AvantGo Client for Blogger to your list of channels with the below URL:
http://avantgo.com/mydevice/autoadd.html?title=Blogger&url=http://prometheus.frii.com/~vampyr/blogger/&max=100&depth=2&images=1&links=0&refresh=always&hours=2&dflags=127&hour=0&quarter=00&s=00

You can also use Pocket Chronicle to log you blogger then upload with your AvantGo Client for Blogger

or you could use the Blogger Wireless Editon

Oh yea I forgot I'd like more info on that beta ftp software. :mrgreen:

wouldn't it be easier to set up a content management system with a really simple administrator's page?

that's what i'd do.

Do a search for html editors on google. (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=html+editor+pocket+pc&spell=1)

But why use FTP (especially with the cost of most such software), when you can do it interactively through the BloggerNEW lofi interface (http://new.blogger.com/home.pyra) (it loads automatically through browser redirection if you use PIE to access your blog), or you can use the online/offline Pocketblog (http://www.pocketblog.com) or even a wap blogger interface directly from your phone (http://www.ubique.ch/wapblogger/). (I've used it numerous times.)

Yes tell us about the ftp program. I have been looking for one that is either free or cheap.
