Once you've done that, it is easy to post to Blogger from the phone. It'll even accept photos attached. Video is more difficult without using an intermediary system like YouTube (which I haven't tried yet), or Flickr (which I have working with photos, but not tried with video yet).AktoManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00464579446969241392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34967887.post-11828509042227976022008-08-06T18:46:00.000+01:002008-08-06T18:46:00.000+01:00Blogger did some work on the system around midnigh...Blogger did some work on the system around midnight BST, and I noticed a couple of times today BST that the comments failed to submit.<BR/><BR/>If it happens once, sometimes you can get back to the previous page, sometimes not (eg in Firefox ALT <-arrow), then copy the comment. Shut the window, and try again in Blogger.<BR/><BR/>I've had the same happen in emails - especially ones that time out after a period of inactivity. Save a copy to the clipboard before pressing submit ... just in case.AktoManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00464579446969241392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34967887.post-63184178619649226662008-08-06T17:44:00.000+01:002008-08-06T17:44:00.000+01:00Alan - it was Martin who gave you the simple way t...Alan - it was Martin who gave you the simple way to widen your blog so that you can have more content.<BR/><BR/>Did I wow! can I have a job in IT.

I took the lazy option of carrying more weight rather than leave the trail (eats into time), or go to the hastle of making sure I was at post office xx during the day.<BR/><BR/>It didn't stop my enjoyment, and I'm a slow plodder anyway. Lost over a stone in weight in 15 days.AktoManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00464579446969241392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34967887.post-45613053655732412922008-08-06T16:17:00.000+01:002008-08-06T16:17:00.000+01:0010 days' food?

Everyone with Blogger accounts has access to it, and you can give it a go, or swap to it permanently.<BR/><BR/>To access the site, just click on <A HREF="http://draft.blogger.com" REL="nofollow">this link</A> when you're logged in to Blogger and you'll see the new-look blog editor. You can publish posts and everything.<BR/><BR/>Blogger did this before, and I think this 'public beta' works well.AktoManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00464579446969241392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34967887.post-4637919087078758992008-08-06T00:06:00.000+01:002008-08-06T00:06:00.000+01:00AAAGGGHH!!!Shamus - Don't go there!
