Sat 03.22.08 - File under WTF!?!?!?!?!?!
After spending over 3 hours last night cursing the demise of Lifeblog the mobile app and attempting to get the new Nokia Share Online 3.0 to recognize the Atom script on this blog to no avail, today for no known reason whatsoever, Share Online decided to post this FULL SIZED photo of the Irvine Tollway Bridge over the 91 Freeway on is own volition. Thanks Share Online for not posting when I spent 3 hours trying to get you to participate and then posting out of nowhere on the freeway today. WTF?!?!?!?!?!
Despite its capricious ways, the good news is that Share Online 3.0 will post to Movable Type 4.1 blogs with no extra hacks. Yeah!
Now just to refine the process....

Update from Sun 03.23.08 : Since Charlie asked, I have created a how to / tutorial on getting Nokia Share Online 3.0 to work with one's Movable Type blog.

Uh, how did you do it? Did you make your own config file?
I haven't looked at Share Online at all, and have never really used Nokia's lifeblog as anything more than a nifty timeline view of my life over the past couple of months. I have however blogged quite simply from my N95 using the fantastic Shozu (www.shozu.com). Besides allowing you to submit photos and videos from your device to a ridiculous number of destinations (including various blogging platforms, email addresses and many more) it makes really intelligent use of data. You decide which connections you want it to use for uploading data, and in what order to prefer connections (so you could set your WiFi connection as preferred but use your 3G as a backup). You may also set Shozu to upload either original resolution or scaled down versions of media. Finally, it will also only upload items once, even if you want to post them to multiple destinations, saving you a bundle in data charges.
