Some more on mobile blogging

Last month I have reported on my forage i9nto mobile blogging. If you remember, I came to the conclusion that TBlogger was not up to the task due to it being insanely slow. Now I must correct myself. It works just fine for me. Better, in fact, then moBlog ever did.

Why is it better? Well, first of all it fully syncs with your Wordpress blog. And when I say "fully" I mean it. Well, it does not download images and other mediaf rom the blog to your PocketPC... but do you really need it on your handheld? And you still can put photos and stuff in the posts you send from the device (admittedly I haven't try it yet, but I will).

What made me switch to it was the simple yet efficient interface. You get to the blog accounts list - multiple accounts with Wordpress and MetaWeblog API are supported - and after creating new account or selecting existing one you get the list of posts and pages. You can create new posts and pages, edit existing ones, even add categories. Several posts can be written on the device and then you can go online and sync all of them to the blog in one go.

Now to the annoying part. I don't know why, but it keeps setting draft status on the new posts, no matter what I try. Maybe that's done to prevent drunk blogging, but having some way to turn it on or off will be nice. None of the attempts to set it right have been successful, but I still have hope. Also, there is no way known to me to use this software with Russian language blogs... but as I blog much less in Russian this issue is not as pressing.
