Mobile Blogging with Google

Google recently released a less complicated way of linking up your phone with one or more of your Blogger blogs. It put the settings to post to a specific blog through your phone or e-mail next to each blog’s title inside of the dashboard using small and simple icons. Posting via SMS or MMS message can be set up in about 30 seconds if you have your phone handy, and you don’t even have to leave the dashboard to do it. The same goes for creating a special e-mail address to post to each blog–something which was also, previously hidden away from non-savvy users.
While sending a post to Blogger through your phone is nothing new, Google clearly wants to make the process a easier. However, there is a lack of an official, native Blogger application for mobile phones. WordPress and MovableType have had free mobile applications out for some time now. SMS and e-mail are good but a dedicated application would work better. Those with an iPhone and $3 can have it with this app called BlogPress which also posts to WordPress, TypePad, Live Journal and others.
