A recent find is the ability to publish posts remotely (like this entry), to self hosted WordPress sites (like this one). I previously thought that this was only available on WordPress hosted blogs. Happy days here.

My iphone photo blog is just that, a blog that I publish an image a day to from my iphone. I’ve already noticed some interesting benefits with Google indexing that I’ll be commenting on elsewhere. I’ve just about kept it going since May09 now. Please do take a look and post me a note with your thoughts.
