Here is a link to information about a Palm OS-based tool for inputting postings to Movable Type hosted Weblogs (thanks, Mike Cane).

This brings up an interesting point: I regularly input to this Radio-based Weblog using my Toshiba e740. There are two ways for me to accomplish this.

First, when I'm at home I often log onto the copy of Radio that is running on my home XP desktop via my home WiFi network. I can then update this Weblog through Radio's Web interface. Any changes I make to my local desktop copy of Radio are automatically synced with the Radio Userland server every 10 seconds. In fact, I can perform any operation on Radio that can be done from the desktop using this Web-based interface. I'm often doing just that while my wife is actively using our desktop at the same time.

The second way I can remotely input postings is through the Radio email interface. I've set up a special email account that our home copy of Radio checks every 15 minutes for postings. HTML email is handled just fine, so it's easy to post both text and graphics. Most of the postings to this Web site are done this way. In fact, this very posting originated as an email message to Radio.

So, when using Radio no special tool is required on your PDA to allow remote posting. All that's needed on the PDA is a Web browser and/or an email program. Needless to say, I'm very happy with the Radio Userland product.
