It does seem to work most of the time but every so often a picture doesn't get passed on. For example, out of the 56 photos sent by the students, abot 6 went AWOL between Flickr and Blogger (and I'm not sure which end had the problem).<BR/><BR/>Try it again and see if it works this time. In other words, follow standard computing practice - switch it off and back on again - that usually works! :-)Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614417017549146281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407965.post-1156864963324217602006-08-29T16:22:00.000+01:002006-08-29T16:22:00.000+01:00Woah!

Basically you send to a dedicated pop account and the blog checks that every so often. I think you can even use a spare gmail account.

Again, I don't <BR/>know if you can do it directly to Typepad, but you can set Flickr to forward automatically for you. (It supports a list of common blogging tools including Typepad and Blogger.) Log in to your Flickr account and go to the <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/account/uploadbyemail/" REL="nofollow">Upload by email</A> page to set up the upload by email options (which Joe has already done) and then go to the <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/account/uploadbyemail/blog/" REL="nofollow">To your blog</A> page to connect Flickr to your blog and Flo's your auntie. :-)<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614417017549146281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407965.post-1156767729614763492006-08-28T13:22:00.000+01:002006-08-28T13:22:00.000+01:00I've just had a lok at the link Joe gave and it lo...I've just had a lok at the link Joe gave and it looks like <A HREF="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4397899.stm" REL="nofollow">Darren</A> had to do the same as me - send to Blogger via Flickr's auto forward facility. In the article, he mentions handheld devices as well as mobile phones and it just struck me that it should be possible to do it directly into Blogger if you have an internet capable device like a PDA. That made me wonder if Blogger posts could be made from a WAP enabled phone and if so, can photos be included? I'll need to have an experiment tonight to see what can be done.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614417017549146281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407965.post-1156767262049133752006-08-28T13:14:00.000+01:002006-08-28T13:14:00.000+01:00Hello JoeYou can send email to blogger, but when I...Hello Joe<BR/><BR/>You can send email to blogger, but when I tried sending an email with a photo attached, it just ignored the photo - that's why I was pleased to discover the auto-forward thing in Flickr. If it is possible to do it directly in Blogger, it is not obvious how. I'll do a bit of digging.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614417017549146281noreply@blogger.com
