• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

I just discovered that blogger.com supports mobile blogging from your cell phone. I've been playing around with it and it's the coolest thing I've seen in awhile! If you have a cell phone that can send pictures and text (or just text) you can email it to [email protected] and it will create a blog for you automatically, then you can either continue to post to that blog or redirect it permanently to your existing blog. Check out some of my early results on my blog! http://stormchaserco.blogspot.com

Has anyone else tried this yet? How new is this?
 
I was playing with it just a couple days ago. I haven't tried to send pics yet, but from what little I played it seems pretty darn cool. It's been available for a few months I think.
 
Verne, It looks like you have the blogging camera thing down. Wondering if you could comment a bit on the process, how many different set-ups did you try and have you found the "best" setting that you could share with all...
 
Yeah so here's what I've learned. You have to have MMS capability for pictures and text or just plain text from your cell phone provider. You then send a first message to [email protected] - blogger.com will reply with a temp blog name and an access code. You then go to the temp blog name, log in and you will be presented with an option to either continue with the temp blog or redirect to an existing blog. After this the following picture mails or text will post to your blog (or the temp one if you want to keep it) automatically. As long as you have a good strong digital signal of course.
