The previous post went through YoMoBlog.com, one of Dave Winer’s apps on scripting.com. It seems to work as advertised.

This is my first attempt at posting a blog entry from my phone. Even with T9 messaging, its kind of tedious, but I can see where it might be ok with a text oriented phone. Oh well!
