With my new Nokia N95, I can now post to my WordPress Blogs via the default Nokia Lifeblog. There’s some tweaks to be done on the WordPress blog via ftp but it should be simple. I’m trying it now. See the steps below. Via

Update 20 Nov 2007

Phoneboy has a new update that supports WordPress 2.3 versions. Download it now.

Update 26 Oct 2007

Blogging with a Nokia N95 and WordPress 2.2.3 works. Any comments on other phones or wordpress versions ? Please leave a comment

Update 16 Oct 2007

Finally this script works. I had tried it earlier but some how the atomdata.txt said it could recognize the XML on the blog. So i emailed Phoneboy and he got back to me quickly with a new script. I uploaded it and voila!, it really works. Now I have to check the settings on my N95 to see how the image quality can be enhanced. His new script is over here.

Known To Work With:

* WordPress 2.0.5
* Lifeblog from a Nokia N73, Nokia N93, and Nokia N80 Internet Edition

Known Not To Work With:

* WordPress 2.0.4 (and probably earlier versions)
* LifeBlog PC Application–since I have a Mac, unless someone else wants to hack in the support, it’s not going to be supported.

Installation Instructions:

1. Download LifeBlog PHP for WordPress 2.0.5 Blogs
2. Copy file to the root of your WordPress installation. Should be at the same level as wp-blog-header.php.
3. Rename the file to lifeblog.php, make executable if needed.
4. If the root directory of your WordPress installation is not writable, then you will need to create a file called atomdata.txt that is writable by the web server process. In many cases this means the file needs to be made world-writable.
5. Ensure that wp-content/uploads directory is writable by the web server process. In many cases this means the directory needs to be made world-writable.
6. Edit lifeblog.php. See the comments at the top of lifeblog.php.txt on what will need to be edited.
7. Configure your Nokia device to use this new Lifeblog service. The important settings are:
* Username: admin (or whatever you use to post)
* Password: (whatever password you specify in lifeblog.php–not your normal WordPress password)
* Server Address: http://www.examplewordpressblog.com/lifeblog.php

After that, you should be able to use Lifeblog on your Nokia handset to post to your WordPress blog.

Troubleshooting Instructions:

* Comment out any of the lines that have “logme” in them.
* Attempt to post
* Send me the following information via email (address listed to the right):
o atomdata.txt file
o Phone you are using to post with firmware version (Dial *#0000#)
o Version of LifeBlog software on the phone, if possible to obtain:
+ On N80i: Tools > App. Mgr. > Lifeblog, then Select > View Details
+ On N93 and N73, I don’t see a clear way to get that information since it is an included app.

I can’t get this script to work. I am using WordPress 2.2.3 and I get this error when I post via Nokia Lifeblog.

Here is the atomdata info:
