Pocket Blog - Blogging From Your Pocket PC
http://pocketblog.com/
"Pocket Blog extends your weblog to any Pocket PC device. Weblog entries are maintained offline. When Internet connectivity becomes available, such as when your Pocket PC is placed in it's docking cradle or a WiFi card is inserted, changes are automatically posted to your weblog. Pocket Blog also downloads recent weblog entries, enabling you to edit entries that were originally posted from your desktop."
It uses the Blogger API which means it works with Blogger, Movable Type and others. This software hasn't been updated in about a year but may still be of interest to those of you that blog. Maybe some hits on his website will encourage him to get working on 2.0, which was supposed to be out months ago. :wink: It is a free download.

There's also PocketSharpMT which does a similar job - it needs the .NET Compact Framework, but seems to work reasonably well in my brief play with it, and it was last updated in April this year.

I have been tinkering with Pocket Blog for the last couple weeks on my h2210 and it has been working fine.
A little more formatting support would be nice (bold, italics, etc) but it handles the connection process to blogger just fine, which is the most important thing.
As for updates, perhaps we will see some for 2003 SE but after a year I would suspect the code has been abandoned. Has anyone tried to contact the creator?

Does Pocket Blog allow live wireless connections, or is it only for offline posting with later synching?

This might finally get me to start a blog. Now I just need to get Blogger to work with my server...or maybe actually buy some cheap hosting.

Don't forget livejournal.com either. Blogger is cool but livejournal is pretty fun with communities, etc.

Yea, PocketSharpMT is my favorite. Randy does a really good job of keeping it up to date and responding to suggestions.

PocketSharpMT looks nice, but does it work with Blogger? From looking through his site and FAQ, I'm guessing no. Shame, as it seems a lot more full featured than PocketBlog, but I use Blogger for my sites, so I guess I'll give pb a try.

Perhaps the easiest way is to visit www.blogger.com and follow the easy steps.
