Blogging from my Blackberry

Running a very busy life, I find it difficult to find time to update my website, which is why www.palmtopman.com was reduced to just one page. So a few weeks ago I decided to give 'Blogging' a try. I started with palmtopman.blog.co.uk but now primarily use this one palmtopman.blogspot.com. I have found the time to blog by using little bits of free time and typing into my Blackberry either directly via the good sized QWERTY keyboard on my 8820 or now using a portable fold up Bluetooth keyboard.
As for the text tool, I try and keep things simple, so I am using the Blackberry 'MemoPad', which sync's with Microsoft Outlook Notes; one memopad note for each blog. Managing my notes, I have three categories; Blogs, Blogs-Ready and Blogs-Posted; so when I'm drafting a blog, I use the category 'Blogs', when a blog is ready for posting, I change the category to 'Blog-Ready' and if you haven't guessed, when I've posted the blog to blogger.com, I change the category of my note to 'Blog-Posted'. That way with a busy period of blogging, e.g. lots of free time, I know where I am with my blogs. With my blogs within MS Outlook Notes, I can easily copy, paste and post to blogger.com from my PC.
To end on a high, blogger.com let's you post blogs by just sending an email to Mail2Blogger; which I'm just about to do to post this one whilst away with my Blackberry.
