I'm fairly new to Drupal, but working on a new Drupal site with the folks at Bryght. The site will have a blogging component that will be updated via mobile device. One of the ways I'm thinking about updating the blog is via email using GSM/GPRS. Is it possible to update a Drupal blog via email from a mobile device? I'd love to hear any other perspectives about mobile blogging and Drupal... Thanks!

Will http://drupal.org/project/mailhandler work? Not tried emailing from to update it but I have sent an email from my gmail acount using my mobile.

That looks like it may work. I don't know enough about Drupal to say- perhaps others here know. Thanks for the reply gazelle.

there is a moblog.module that works in conjunction with mailhandler to allow drupal to recognise emails and photos etc. coming from a mobile phone.

If you do a search or browse the CVS respositories you should find discussions about it.

best of luck...and let us know how you get on. Out of curiosity, do you have a mobile theme?

Ahh, great to know about the moblog.module, I'll look around. I don't have a mobile theme right now. The site is in dev. Most people will read the site from PCs, but I'm looking to post to it from a mobile device.

Can you have a mobile and non-mobile theme at the same time- where it recognizes how it is being viewed? What about something specific like a blog entry screen that is built for mobile?
