Some of your best ideas for blogging happen when you are away from your PC. The following is a list of mobile blogging tools we discovered.

Blogger.com : The best way to post to blogger is to do it by email . There are two options. If you already have a blog then set it up to receive posts by email. You have to send emails to a mailbox which has an address format yourUserName.secretword@blogger.com . You can set it up on the dashboard. If you dont have a blog then you can just send an email to go.blogger.com and then claim the blog .

Lifeblog : If you use a Nokia phone and typepad then Lifeblog is the tool for you. Lifepad not only allows you to blog from your phone, but also synchronizes images with your desktop PC. For mor information visit the lifeblog site at http://www.nokia.com/lifeblog
