The Super-Secret Quickpost.log Blogging Option

Stewart's doing this daily updates style of blogging that I use to blog my general stuff. The title of the post is the date. Each "dispatch" blurb is timestamped underneath the post for that day. It can certainly be done by hand, but I have a secret page built into the reger.com platform that makes it easier.

To do this style of blogging I use a secret page called quickpost.log. It's at http://yourblog.reger.com/myhome/quickpost.log. When you get to this page it'll simply list your logs. Choose one and you'll get a single text input box. Type what you want to blog.

It'll take care of the title of the post (like "Thursday, February 1, 2007") and the timestamping of each sub-post (like "02:59:46 AM:") automatically. It'll also update the date of the post to the current time so that your most recent stuff pops to the top of your blog. When the date rolls to the next day it starts a new post for you and aggregates all of your dispatches.

This is how I post from my cell phone... I have a Treo with a built-in web browser so I just go to that quickpost page and start typing. Actually, I have a couple bookmarks in my phone browser for separate logs that I can post to. Happy blogging!
