So, i used to be able to e-mail a photo from my phone to Flickr and then it would generate a blog post for me but it seems that is now broken. I can't even blog a photo from Flickr directly.
I have searched the Flickr help files and looked on the forums but it seems there's no fix for it as yet.
Boo!
Also, yesterday i spent a great deal of time cooking.
I made bread. By Hand. It was horrible. Dense, grey, doughy. Bleurgh.
I made "no knead" or "artisan" bread. You mix it up and leave it in a warm place for 12 hours and it goes all gloopy then you bake it in a casserole dish and end up with a lovely ball shaped loaf of crusty bread. Not me. It didn't do anything. It looked exactly the same 12 hours later. I cooked it. It was vile. Beyond words.
I spent the most time lovingly preparing a split pea and vegetable soup to go with the leftover gammon from Sunday. I soaked the split peas overnight on Sunday, gently softened my onion in a little butter, added garlic, half a swede, two carrots, and the split peas along with the stock from cooking the gammon. Boiled for 10 minutes, scooped off the scum and then simmered it gently for 2 hours.
I ended up with a grainy textured swede soup.
I did manage to rescue the soup with a little dab of mint sauce but it wasn't til i was chewing on a bit of gammon that i realised i REALLY don't like hot ham, it's not just sometimes. It's always.
Tonight i am using up more leftover gammon and having ham, egg and chips. What can go wrong??

Have you got the flickr app? I use that to upload from my phone to flickr, then use the sharing html code thing (same as if you were sharing in a ravelry forum) to put the pictures into my blog post.
Sorry to hear the cooking didn't go so well, can't win them all?
Getting a photo to Flickr isn't a problem, i can e-mail it OK. I just used to be able to e-mail it and create a blog post at the same time which for someone like me is a Good Thing.
I don't have the time or patience to:
Upload to Flickr.
Log into Flickr.
Work out where they've hidden the links this time.
Get the HTML.
Go to Blogger.
Log in to Blogger.
Write a new post.
Paste the HTML.
Publish said post.
Far too many steps, i either lose interest halfway through or forget what i was doing or get distracted by something else. It is especially difficult to do all these things on my phone which is how i tend to use the internet most of the time.
I just want Flickr to fix whatever is broken and allow me to blog directly from FLickr like i used to be able to.
I use a Blackberry, the App i use is very basic, i can add a title and description and that's about it unless i log in via the browser which is too fiddly for me on a phone.
