As mentioned before, I have never created a blog in my life before. Thus using Wordpress was a new learning experience for me. The brilliant thing is that Wordpress also allows you to create new messages straight from your Nokia e61, or any other email enabled device.

Steps to take are as follows :

  1. Create a new email address only known to you, and only used for posting new messages
  2. Under options in Wordpress : add your email account information which will allow Wordpress ‘to pick up new messages in this email box’
  3. Install the plug-in ‘WP-cron‘ on your web hosting server (somewhere in the plug-in directory)
  4. Activate the WP-cron and WP-cron mail plug-ins (you can test the WP-cron plug-in by activating the automated email sending plug-in)
  5. You are ready to go.

Note. one disadvantage : the plug-in is only activated (picks up a new message) when your blog is visited (through internet or RSS). Other disadvantages are : you can only deliver text, no HTML code and it is hard to layout your text in a decent manner

    So I tried to post this afternoon to my wordpress from my E61 and see here the result: http://bobmeetsworld.com/posting-from-a-train/

    All garbled text. Did you not get the same problem ?

    Good that you are trying.

    I think I know what happened. Probably you send a picture as attachment. What you see is the ASCI version of a binairy file.

    Let me know how you tried posting a picture with your post.

    nope, no picture attached, just plain text. Now this only happens when use the blueberry connection If I just add a regulr mailbox and sent from there, the text just shows up just fine.

    I would still think that with the BB connection somehow still a binairy file is added.

    Anyway - it seems you have resolved it.

    BTW. which plug-in are you now using?

  5. 5 Bob

    Well its not resolved but it’s a work-around :)
    What plug-in are you referring to?

  6. 6 Beemer507

    To generate the automated post. Moreover, which domain service provider are you using?

  7. 7 Bob

    I don’t have an automated post plugin ? I am my own domain service provider :)

    hm, i just tried to post via my E61 to my wordpress-blog @ http://www.symbian60.mobi . It seems to catch the mails but won´t post them as far as i can see.

    i receive a message from the system that goes something like this:
    “Author = phanthomas@cl@@t.com
    Content-type: text/plain, boundary:
    Raw content:
    This is just a test to blog to wordpress via E61
    Author: 1
    Posted title: Posted with E61
    Posted content:
    This is just a test to blog to wordpress via E61
    Mission complete, message 1 deleted.”

    But no posting on the weblog - any clues?

    I like the way you react to my ironical maturity I have a nice fresh joke for you people) What do you call a drunk who works in an upholstery shop? A recovering alcoholic.
