I am extremely fortunate, and have the honor of owning an Evdo high-speed broadband card with Sprint. This allows me to surf the web anywhere and post virtually anywhere that is convenient to take my laptop.
But what about those who don’t have Evdo? What if you don’t have a laptop, or easy access to a computer? Or even worse, there is a power outage and your main internet access is through the cable company and won’t work without electricity?
Let’s say you want nothing more than to update your blog while on vacation. But you are camping at the Grand Canyon.
What do you do?
David Pankhurst has created a plugin that will help you easily post by email in WordPress.
For the mad texter or Blackberry bandit, this is a great way to keep your blog posts current.
While he warns that the initial set-up of this particular plugin may be a bit hairy, he assures us he has provided additional instruction in the process.
He is looking for some feed back on the plugin, and is taking requests.
Right now, the plugin itself just fixes the line break problem – what happens is that if you use email posting currently, the email formats the text to around 60-80 characters per line, and in WordPress these lines breaks become paragraphs – very messy. The plugin removes these extra lines, forming it back into proper paragraphs. But it could do more, depending on what people want.
I may give this a test run down the road, but for now feel free to visit his blog and tell him what you’re looking for.
Perhaps I’ll need to upload some easy pictures in my blog post while camping at the Grand Canyon.
