Will my mobile number be visible if I publish an entry via SMS or MMS?

No, we only post your entry. The mobile phone number remains private. But if you add your number to your message, it will appear on your blog.

What email address do I have to send my entries to?

The email address for your weblog is made up of your weblog address and a four digit code. The code prevents unauthorized users from posting entries in your weblog. Also, you can add an identifier for the category you want to post to. If your weblog address is "carl" and your code is "1234", your basic email address is "[email protected]".
If you want to post in category "vacation" of your blog, you would send to "[email protected]". Please note that the category identifier is independent of the actual name of your category. You can assign those labels and the PIN at "Weblog -> More options -> E-mail and mobile blogging".

Can I edit entries which I have posted via mobile or email?

You can edit or delete any entry on your weblog. It doesn't matter whether you have posted your entry via the web, your mobile phone, or via email.
But you can only edit the entry via the web browser. Once you have sent an email through your mobile, you can't change this entry via your phone.

Why did my mobile post fail to reach my weblog?

There can be many reasons to explain this particular problem. Please check whether you have taken the following points into consideration:

- have you sent your post to the correct email address?

If you are sure that you have fulfilled all the above requirements but are still unable to send your posts, please contact your portal administrator.

Why are there adverts on my entries?

Some Email, SMS or MMS providers add their own advertising whenever you send a message. We do filter these types of advertisement out of the entry whenever you send an SMS message. If you choose to post via email or MMS you can edit your entry at a later point in time and remove any ad tags.

What is MMS?

MMS is the abbreviation for "Multimedia Message Service". It enables the mobile transmission of text, images, films and sounds. The messages can be sent from one mobile phone to another or to an email address. This service is supported by a growing number of new-age mobile phones. For more information please contact your network provider.

Can I publish film and audio clips via MMS on my weblog?

You can also post videos or soundclips on your weblog via MMS. Nevertheless, some mobile phones deliver the files in very rare formats. Therefore, some users will not be able to hear or view these posts. For example, if you want to watch a film which has been recorded by a Nokia 3650 you will have to download the specific software on the Nokia homepage.

How do I decide which category my MMS posts are published in?

You can send a mobile message directly to a specific category. Therefore, you need to use the e-mail address that is displayed at "Weblog -> More options -> E-mail and mobile blogging" for that very category.
Also, you can move an entry to another category once you have published it.
