<\/a>After messing around with pivot’s moblog settings for a while I eventually gave up. I know it worked in the past so I think I’ve probably just messed the config files about so badly that I’ll need to up load another one.<\/p>\n

I decided to try another tack. I set up a flickr account for the school\/phone and an email address to post photos to flickr.<\/p>\n

Flickr is blocked by websense in Glasgow schools, so I used the Flickr API<\/a> and phpFlickr<\/a> to pull the photos from Flickr: Photos from sandaigprimary<\/a> and download them to the sandaig site. The photos are then shown of a web page: Sandaig MoBlog<\/a>. The page is pretty crude at the moment but I think I can add some features as we go along( pagination, sorting by tag, maybe HaloScan commenting ).<\/p>\n

A couple of children in my class posted a photo today and managed to add a description pretty quickly, unfortunately I had not set permissions on the server correctly and we go a page full of very odd characters. I think I’ve fixed it now that I am home and will try a relaunch of moblogging next week.<\/p>\n

I had put my own sim card in the phone but it looks like my virgin payg account is not the cheapest way to send email. I talked to someone in the T-Mobile shop and bough a payg sim from them. According to the salesperson, data cost so much per kb but it is capped at \u00a31 a day. I though this would work out well as we will mostly use the phone on school trips and should be able to fire off a bunch of photos for a pound a trip.<\/p>\n

I also asked about emailing from abroad, but this seems a lot more expensive, I wonder if I could buy a sim card in holland to fire off photos for the week we were there, if anyone knows anything about mobile provides in Holland please let me know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
