Posting iphone photos to website over wifi

I'm considering the iphone to blog while on the road. I want to edit text and post photos I take with the iphone. The blog I use has an text editing tool and a tool to upload pictures from the web or a local hard disk. I've heard that the iphone can't upload pictures to websites like this and that the only way to share photos (without syncing to another computer) is by sending email. Is this true?

How do people post to photo sites like Flickr etc.

I have one, none

You cannot share pictures outside of email.

Thanks for the reply,
do you that mean that you can't cut them from the email and paste them into another
document or up load them to flickr?

What format are the iphone photos in when you attach tem to an email?

the pictures are in jpg format.

i'm not sure if flickr has this feature or not, but i've been using blogger because it allows you to update posts via email. the subject of the email will be the post title, and then the text portion will be your blog, and the attached photo will appear after the text. the only negative about this is you can post 1 photo at a time. but it works well.

Thanks a lot, the blog I use also allows email updates. However, the format of the email I send has some info in the text body and is finished with a line of equals signs "==========". Now my frustration is that I can't see the "=" on the iphone QWERTY or number keyboards. Does anyone know where it is?

nun1,

The equals sign can be located by tapping on the numbers key (when composing an email) and then tapping on the "#+=" key located above the alphabet key.

Hope this helps,
Jennifer B.

When I try to send a photo from the iPhone to my Blogger blog, the photo does not open on the blog. All that appears is an X in a box where the photo should be, though the text is transmitted correctly. Any suggestions? (a response by email to davidgoodman@world.oberlin.edu would be much appreciated)

i'm having the same problems with my blogger uploads, as well.

for the flickr question, they will give you an email address for uploads. it works great. just wish i could update my blog with pics, and not just text.
