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
