Can anyone recommend an offline blogging client for windows smartphone?
I dont have a blog yet so not too concerned with compatibility with blog hosts etc.
I'm only after a few features:
1. must run offline then upload at end.
2. must be able to attach a photo.
Anyone done this?
Cheers
I think a lot of blogs also make use of updating via email.. ie. you email an address and the email is posted as the blog entry, blogger.com comes to mind
thanks for that, yes i've tried and it works, although i'm trying to post a photo also.
Ideally by attaching to the email, blogger won't let you post a photo this way, it just drops the file and posts only the text.
Try getting a blog on Wordpress.
Wordpress has couple of extension reading incoming mail and adding pics as attachments in the posts.
Had done this time ago...
Requirements:
1) Blog which runs on Wordpress
2) Access to the server via FTP so to install plugins
3) Modify a bit the plugin scripts (PHP) so to have exactly what you need.
4) A very difficult to guess email address
...and you're done.
Check Wordpress codex for the mail & attachment plugin.
In the meantime I'll try to see if the modified plugin is still somewhere on my HD home and if found will post it here.

I hate WM Facebook client because it doesn't work for me right. I need to press refresh tens of times to get the fresh view. I can upload photos but I don't see if they're uploaded or not. I can't add comment to a photo I'm uploading. Sometimes uploading ends with error.
Is it possible to do it through browser?
I can't find such possibility in mobile view. And in full view - a button to upload photos is inactive.
Any ideas?
facebook now support email uploads, check the mobile settings in facebook!
I dont know of a mobile site that lets you post to Facebook through your mobile browser, but the two WindowsMobile apps FIM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480365 and ShoZu http://www.shozu.com/portal/index.do provide direct upload to Facebook wall, or for ShoZu only to your wall or the album you choose. ShoZu even lets you add a title and a comment to each photo. The mobile browser version of ShoZu however only allows for posting as an email attachment, as does Facebook itself.

Where did you find that. I hit settings then account settings, then mobile tab. I don't see anything about email, just a cell phone number. Any clue where you saw that.
The title is a question, and it says it all any body know how to add IM places in the IM folder? I have a T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 and it comes pre-loaded with AIM, Messenger, Yahoo, Google Talk, and MySpace IM. I want Facebook IM added to that. Why the eff would T-Mo put MySpace IM on the phone (as if anyone would use it)? It must have been free or something. Anyway, I know that "MeBoo" comes with FaceBook IM but when I load that, it doesn't integrate itself into my Instant Messaging file. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, help me please
bump! =)--------
There's actually a seperate program, FIM, that has both Facebook Messenger and the ability to keep you updated on your Facebook notifications, including the ability to link directly from the program itself to your Facebook mobile page. Here's the already-discussed link:

Hi,
today I got a notification from HTC Hub indicating that there were 2 new plugins for HTC Sense which are LinkedIn and Picasa.
I chose both to install, LinkedIn installed and I can see it and its nice. However, Picasa downloads but didn't install. Tried again as the notification still were there, but same thing happend again, downloads but never installs. Then the notification vanished!
I tried to find the Picasa Album plugin on HTC hub on both phone and HTCSense.com but never found it!!
Anybody experienced the same?
Does anybody know where HTC Hub downloads the files? I might find Picasa for HTC Sense file there and install it manually.
It would be nice to have the Picasa Album plugin so I do not need any third party app.
Noticed the exact same thing... got linked in but no picasa, and would have prefered to get picasa over linked in.
Yeah i had the same problem, i had two notifications one for the linkedIn and Picasa plug-ins and one for a new widget. I chose to install Picasa as the other two didn't interest me but it never installed and doesn't show up in the gallery as an option. I can't figure out how to get back to that plug-in choice section to try and download it again either
Although sometimes when i go to the HTC hub it shows up briefly saying 'failed to connect to server, try again later' but things still seem to load. Dunno if that's got anything to do with it. Hopefully they just pulled it and will have it available again soon
I downloaded the Linkedin app. Now it says "application not found" !!
had the same thing first i thought I downloaded both of them and then LinkedIn only show up in "Account & Sync" whereas Picasa is no where to be found.
also the update notification shows up randomly.
Same thing goes to the "Market" I was on the new Market UI at some point then it jumped back to the normal one
I downloaded the linked, I can see it in my manage apps, but it is not in my app drawer. I cannot open it. I wish HTC would provide some support here!
So I am not the only one facing this problem. Hope this will be fixed soon and pushed by HTC again

David:
I think you cannot find it in app drawer as it is a plugin for HTC Sense UI and not a standalone application for Android.
So you can find the application in Contacts -> Online -> and from here you choose LinkedIn
I don't have it in my HTC Hub. Where should it be?
its not there. I guess HTC pushed it to all and not included in HTC hub online yet.
re: picasa link
I tried to share/upload using picasa via galley but it's buggy, it want's you to log in to your google acct. even that you're logged already. Works fine if logged in.

Thats is something different.
Uploading to Picasa has always been there but the new plugin I think is to view your online albums and see pictures on your phone just like the new LinkedIn for HTC Sense plugin which enables you to see all of your friends and their profiles.

Thanks, it was there! Using it made me realize that the app is completely useless for my purposes. All it did was override my contacts with Linkedin contacts without email addresses, phone numbers, etc. I was hoping for that missing Android Linkedin app which this was not!

Are you sure it override your contacts with LinkedIn? For me what it does it actually good. I choose to see LinkedIn contacts when I open "Contacts" which you can switch off.
It links existing contacts you have in your phone with LinkedIn contacts but for me it didnt override anything!
If you mean it override your contacts, just unlink them and don't link any but still you can see all LinkedIn contacts.

I have actually deleted it as I could not figure out how to unlink. All I want is an app that accesses Linkedin, similar to twitter app, without having any effect on my phone contacts. Thanks again for your help!
Same to me, never been able to find downloaded apps.
I downloaded the LinkedIn app yesterday. When I connected to my LinkedIn account, syncing created new entries for my LinkedIn connections, which I manually had to link to the corresponding phone contacts (no automatic link suggestions). I can now view their LinkedIn profile from their contact card.
While I was in LinkedIn, I added some new people to my network. By the time they'd responded, I could no longer sync with my LinkedIn account. Force close!
I deleted my LinkedIn account, then recreated it. Syncing worked again, but I had to manually link the LinkedIn contacts to existing phone contacts once again.

I had the notification pop up to download both. Downloaded them - neither installed so I tried restarting and can't find either of them. Nor can I get back to the page on HTC Hub to download them from...
Anybody have suggestions on where to download it from?

Even I was befuddled by this. Linkedin didnt seem to install correctly. But it has - it is just an addon/plugin to the People/Contacts app and thats why the linkedin icon does not appear in the all apps page.
This Linkedin plugin allows you to sync your linkedin contacts to your address book - just go to the online directories section of the people app and click on the linkedin icon to login to your linkedin account. It also auto-suggests linking the contacts like Facebook for HTC sense plugin does, just need to give it some time.
Now to go and find out what the picasa update does!!
I did do that but linkedin isn't listed unfortuantely. Is there a URL that can trigger the download link?
just found the new dropbox client for wp7
BoxFiles & KickBox (not Free )
check the review here
http://wmpoweruser.com/a-look-at-the-newest-windows-phone-7-dropbox-applications/
cause the wp7 not allow u to access your file (like word or powerpoint document) upload to dropbox
i found another solution
it call sentodropbox
after setup, u can get a email address
when u send a attachment to this email, it auto send the file to your dropbox
i'm not a developer, just want to share with u, enjoy
That's a great find! I haven't been able to figure out how to use the SkyDrive Cloud yet on WP7.
