Blogging with iBlogger (upload pictures)



So I knew how to upload pictures with out even knowing I did. Just go to your pictures on your iPhone and send one to your blogspot posting email, then use iBlogger to edit the post. That's what I just did with this one, and it works great.

Updated MacBook adds Nvidia 9400

So if you read blogs like tuaw or Appleinsider then I'm sure you know
about the MacBook upgrade.

This netbook is a good buy for Pros or people looking for Macs on the cheap. It comes with...
a pretty good graphics chipset (Nvidia 9400)
FireWire 400 (Click compare/complete specs)
2GB of Ram (667mhz DDR2)
120GB 5400rpm Hard drive
And a Core 2 Duo running at 2.0Ghz (1066mhz FSB)

Not bad for $1000, I would buy this and a WD Passport (320GB are about $100) and install the WD in the MacBook. Then you would have a 320GB internal and a 120 external(as long as the WD is SATA).

Also it will be interesting to see if it has a SATA DVD-Rom, then you could have two hard drives internally.

Beejive IM app

When I first saw the Beejive app on the iTunes app store I said I would never pay $15 for a IM app. Well after we spent $23 in extra text messages (over two months) I rethought Beejive and bought it.

My wife and I have been using it for two weeks now and we both love it. It has worked without a flaw and we can now send and receive pictures with ease. You can send voice recordings or sounds and smileys. I have used it to send text messages to friends and pictures to MMS phones, haven't received any yet but I would think it would work.

The coolest thing in Beejive is called ring when inactive, if you open the app and then hit the power button then it will make a noise when someone sends you a message. It's not Push Notifications but it will work for now.

Blogging from iBlogger

So I thought I would try iBlogger out on my iPhone, you can get iBlogger from the iTunes app store for $.99(at post time). So far I have to say it was worth the $.99 I paid for it but I wouldn't pay more. My biggest issue is you can't upload pictures, I can send a email with a piture to my custom address and add a new post that way, so why even buy this app.

Well you can edit the posts right on your iPhone, that's my favorite part. If I, well when I miss spell or miss type then I can fix it and not have to wait until I get home and use my laptop to do it.

If I could add on thing (other than piture upload) it would be spell check. I know the iPhone has auto correction but it would be nice to know that you didn't miss spell anything.

Thanks for reading.

Use iWeb to make iPhone friendly web pages

I had a person asking how to use iWeb and make a iPhone (or mobile site).

Well it is easier than you think, go to any page in iWeb and click on “Inspector” (located at the bottom right) then in Inspector click on “Page/Layout” go to “Content Width:” and set it to 320. That is the width of the iPhone screen. Next I changed the font sizes, the title and the date are 24, with the title being bold, and the body is 18. I must say it comes out very good on the iPhone.

If you have a question or comment please contact me.

Thanks for looking.
