Blogging on the go!

Mobile bloggingIf you were to call me an efficiency, productivity, or optimization freak, I wouldn’t be offended.  I actually think I’m one.  I like to find the fastest, smartest, and most efficient tools and systems to achieve my objectives.  This might probably be the reason behind my obsession with computers, electronic gadgets, the internet, in fact, with technology in general.

For instance, it’s been months since I wrote with a pen on a piece of paper.  The desk in my study only has a laptop and a handheld device (which serves as my modem) on it.  No pieces of paper, no pen.  I love technologies, I work with it, it’s all about efficiency, productivity, and optimization.
The bible versions I use to preach on Sundays are contained in my handheld device, and so are my sermon notes!

I find it extremely fascinating and exciting that today we can network and market online, send and receive emails, and do a hundred other tasks just with our handheld devices.  It kind of brings the entire world into the palm of your hands and makes work fun, and stress free.

Mobile blogging

For a long time now I’ve desired to be able to easily and efficiently publish to my blog, regardless of whether I’m in my study with my laptop, or not.  The idea is that I should be able to write a post, edit it, and publish it  to my blog whether I’m in the car, attending a function, or taking a walk, just as long as I have a mobile handheld device. This is because I get lots of the ideas for my posts when I’m on the move or engaged outside my study.  I get a lot of ideas when I’m driving or in an airplane, or just taking a walk.  So, I’ve always wanted to be able to just type what I’m getting in my heart into a handheld device, edit it neatly, and publish to my blog from wherever I am.

Imagine my joy then when I received this article on mobile blogging from my  friend, Kristi Hines, where she listed some helpful plugins designed to facilitate mobile blogging.  I was ecstatic!

I devoured her article,  made my pick from the list, and quickly installed the plugin of my choice, based on Kristis recommendations.  To my delight, everything worked as featured!

Now, I can blog from anywhere using just my mobile hand-held device!  I actually wrote this piece while  resting in my room, edited it, and published it using only my Nokia hand-held device…lol.  The experience is absolutely thrilling!

If you are interested in blogging on the go, here’s a link to Kristi’s very useful article:

How To Make Your WordPress Blog Smartphone Ready.

Thanks Christi for sharing. Keep up the good work.

  • This is challenging. I will have to update my gadgets. Technology offers a lot of opportunity for me. I don't like being left behind in anything, i'm definitely going to upgrade my gadget collections. Thanks for this one.

    Hey WD, I know exactly what you mean... I love technology too, I loved it so much that it is very addictive. I try to give myself the alone time without my computer but boy it's really difficult because there are so many new things out there with new ideas, new software, new programs so many resources that are so much more useful than some research books... Like the Brittanica (not sure of spelling) It is so great for research and images that you can see so much of what the world is about through the internet. I listen to musics on the internet too, and that really gets exciting makes you want to get up and dance with Joy in the presence of the Lord. But, I know this too that sometimes you see a lot of negative things on the internet that can offend people or disgust people in ways that we all wonder why the heck is that posted for what purpose (e.g. pornography or offensive religious images)
    But we also have that power to filter it out of our systems which it is great and protects children from being expose to the negativity... The Lord has blessed my life so much that he had given me the ability to help families who struggle with computers everyday. For instance, my mother lol, she often times have a hard time responding quickly but I learned to be patient with her. I know that everyone is not expert with computers or internet. But nothing gets by her, I got her addicted to facebook and now she's active and she's committing herself to be known rather than hiding. I rather stand out and be known than hide.

    Good Morning Pastor Favour, wonderful blog! Technology is quite amazing and I wonder how we lived without our phones, faxes & computers. What is odd, as I do love new technology & embrace all that comes, now & then I am still old fashioned & like to handwrite things & enjoy technology free when I cannot be reached at every moment of every day, lol! Thank you for sharing! Have a blessed, glorious day in The Lord!
