Notes

fMoblog is a moblog plugin for WordPress 1.5.x which enables the user to post images and a description from a cell phone. Pictures can also be uploaded by email. Creation of thumbnails is automatic and the image are displayed in a image gallery sorted by month. A dropdown list makes it easy to change month to display
. Please check out my own moblog for a demo. fMoblog is valid XHTML.

The fMoblog must be on a static page, not in a post.
