I've been looking for a Pocket PC blog editor ala Blogjet (http://blogjet.com/) and others. I've found Pocket SharpMT (http://www.randyrants.com/2003/09/pocket_sharpmt__1.html) and AvantBlog (http://www.dentedreality.com.au/avantblog/), but the latter is not what I'm looking for and the former a) hasn't been updated in quite a while and b) doesn't work for me (not sure if it's my device or my blog, but other desktop clients work).

So, 2 questions:

Are there any other blog clients out there that I've missed?
Would people be interested in one if I were to create it?

Cheers,

Off the top of my head, there are a couple others like PocketBlogger (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=38296) and MY|BLOG. (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=41756) There may be a few more that I've missed.

Would people be interested in one if I were to create it?

Most definitely. The greater the options to choose from, the better. :)

I have Pocket SharpMT. I was having problems getting it to post as well. It was posting to my blog's front end (I use Moveable Type), but it wasn't updating. In short, I could see that it uploaded to the server, but it didn't show on the actual website. Here is what I figured out:

Go to Tools -->Options
Click the "Defaults" tab
In the Post Status drop down box, make sure it says "Publish" and not "Draft"

Once I did that, everything worked fine. If you want people to be able to leave you comments, you will also have to make sure it says "Open" in the Comments drop down box.

I have also used Pocket Blogger in the past, but it wasn't as robust as Pocket SharpMT is.
