Those who understand binary and those who don't."

Palm blogging

mo:Blog is a mobile blogging tool for PalmOS devices.

With mo:Blog you can post new messages to most blogging applications. It even allows you to upload binary files - like images - to blogs that support this.

You'll benefit the most from mo:Blog if you have a Palm equipped with some kind of wireless connection. This connection can range from a dial-in account using a GSM, a GPRS connection or a local area network using wlan or bluetooth.

Together with a digital camera for Palm, like a Veo Photo Traveler, you can keep your own photoblog using weblog software that supports the metaWebLog API, like MoveableType.

Features:

• Supports most popular blog APIs
• Multiple blog accounts
• Upload files (if supported by blog API)
• Download list of blogs/categories
• Build-in HTML editor
• Signatures (default or blog specific)
• Snippets (code templates)

Bandwidth Thieves

Bandwidth theft happens when a site embeds your content on their pages by directly linking to the files on your server. If your site is hosted on an Apache server, you can use the .htaccess file to block bandwidth bandits: .htaccess method explained

You can also use free CGI scripts to display an error image if a site tries to directly link to graphics on your server.
