Using BlogPlanet for N95 moblogging
For a while I have been interested in finding some sort of setup that will enable me to blog from my mobile phone. Surprisingly, there does not seem to be that many options for S60.
But I think I have found something that works - it is a blog editor called 'BlogPlanet'. BlogPlanet is a J2ME app that appears to be originally made for the Siemens SX1 phone. It features very basic text editing like bold, italic and line breaks.
Sadly, BlogPlanet seems to disable copy-pasting text.
BlogPlanet is also capable of capturing images using the phone's camera - images which can then be inserted into posts. Note however, that there is no access to the phone's own picture gallery - BlogPlanet rolls its own…
BlogPlanet supports Blogger and MetaWeblogAPI, which means it can be used with WordPress (including image uploads).
This post is written and published using BlogPlanet and I think the biggest problem is the tedious text input. I expect to get hold of a bluetooth keyboard soon (Nokia SU-8W or iGo/Stowaway).

But what about ShoZu?

Well, I have not used ShoZu since something like v1.7. It is on my todo list, but there are *issues* keeping me from installing it.
First, there seems to be problem using ShoZu with the N95 - see for instance this thread and this blog post.
Second, I have gotten the impression that ShoZu nowadays is a “jack of all trades”. When I last used ShoZu, it could be used for uploading images and managing comments. I like mobile applications to do just one or a few things right - I do not like applications with a lot of features I never use.
But then, I have not used ShoZu recently - have you? Maybe you can correct me, if I am mistaken?
