Greetings

This is a blog sent to my demo website via an e-mail. You may ask why?? Well basically I had a cf10ten customer who wanted to have the ability to send in updates to their joomla website from either their iphone or by e-mail and for it to also sent out to their facebook and twitter account. My customer will be off around the world and wanted to be able to update his website while away via iphone or a wireless internet connection. I always like a challenge *smile*

I like to use easyblog in my joomla websites and with some help from stackideas (great support) I was able to set up the ability to send in via e-mail and a word in the subject would trigger a blog upload. With iphone you can set up a cloud e-mail mine is called This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it so that was easy next task was to send out to facebook and twitter I did this through twitterfeed but numerous options as joomla will provide a RSS feed to your articles / blogs.

So I had to test and I went up on Cherhill which is not too far away and sent in a blog entry via cloud e-mail.  You can send in photos as well which will be re-sized with a mouse over. So a happy customer who will be able to update as and when it also means anywhere in the world (within reason *smile*) I can pass on this method to other customers who want to keep their website updated via e-mail. We can already set up so articles can be updated via e-mail so pleased blogs can be done this way as well.

A blog is good for a website as this will give you more pages and better ranking with keywords on search engines. So from one website you can update your website > blog > twiter > facebook > linkedIn and many other sites via a simple e-mail giving you a good profile *smile*

As I was up at Cherhill I thought I would take a few HDR photos (bracketed) its something you can do with most cameras though a lot easier with a digital SLR. It will be one of the many courses we will be putting on next year to allow you to be more creative and have fun with your camera both stills and video *smile*

Happy clicking and joomlal *smile*
