Email Posting now supports Photos and Moblogging!
Ever want to post from your mobile phone? Thanks to Dave, now you can with our new and improved Email Posting page!
I personally use a LG VX8100 camera phone from Verizon and love it. Now, I can take a photo of my dog and post it straight to my site! This feature works through email (so make sure your mobile phone has email support.)
Also, if you’re feeling lazy about uploading multiple pictures, you can now attach them to an email. We also decided to simplify the Email Posting page so it uses point-and-click settings.
So if you’ve got Xanga Premium or a Free Trial – can you try this feature out for us, and let us know how it goes? If you could also let us know which phone/carrier you use, that’s be awesome!

COOL beans
YOU ARE SO SMART.
…if only I had a plan that didn’t charge me $raped-up-the-ass each time I send a text message or email.
i dont have a cell but thanx neways lol GJ!!!!!!!
Awesome. You should also include a feature that allows us to type a few words (commentary on pictures)
This rocks! I’ll test and let you know.
Good times had by all!
All I got to say is howd u get dat orange clock on your page I want it lol!
That is Suh-weeet!
i dont have a camera phone…but my digital camera has email capabilities so it should work through there also right?
Awesome! I’ve been waiting for something like this to be invented! Great Job!
thats flippin awesome homie
If only my phone could handle it
Will Xanga ever cease to amaze me? I don’t think so!
::wave:: hi gromit!
AWESOME!!! It works with my cingular phone … and I just have samsung x427m, so it should work with the even newer ones. Thanks Xanga Team!
Woot! Thank you! Thats what I used to do with my old phone – post blogs through email phone! Awesome!
too bad my phone is a boring phone with no such features. it’s just pretty to look at. but thanks for the update for the rest of the xangans.
so does that mean we are closer to having a rss feed to view videos on our blogs??
Awesome!!!!!!
Nice.
Coolness. Keep up the good work, and don’t get nextel, it sucks like a ten cent hooker on nickle night.
I’m getting the same phone as you! The vx8100 from verizon too! GOD I CANT WAIT!! oh yea.. one more question.. how did u get that cool clock on the bottom of ur page??
thanks do u want 2 be mai friend

hi like your page
Things just keep getting better and better here ;o)
That’s cool. My son threw my phone in water. When I replace it, I’ll keep this in mind.
thats seriously cool. thanks!!!
yayy!!
awesomeness
I have a Samsung SGHE-317 with Cingluar service…and it doesn’t work for me
I can’t even get it to work just posting from email to Xanga, let alone from a cellphone!
coolness!!!!
“Surprisingly innovative.”

Nice but how about video and rss feeds already?
whoa thats crazy
hey chris, the xanga frontpage says that xanga premium members get 20MB of image hosting in the orange, “Did You Know?” box. Is that information accurate and up-to-date?
thats awesome.
great imagination
THANX FOR MAKING LIFE A LOT EASIER!!!
SWEET!
cOol. my phone is packed with dog pictures. HAhAa
this is too awsome!
is it gonna be free?
If only I had a mobile phone to post from… maybe I should steal one!
Are you working on audio posts too… that would be awesome!!!!
..SWEEEET..
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkule
Marvelous!!! Hooray!!
cute dog.
Works for me. I have a t-mobile sidekick II. I needed a phone with internet browser capabilities so that I can post from anywhere, but the ability to add pics is great, although further fuels my xanga addiction!
that rocks, I’m not in love with the way it works on my site, I wish I could strip the sprint banners attached to the picture, but It’s a great feature on your part, and, as of now, the only reason I will be resubscribing to premium. Thank you for restoring my faith in xanga
yeah well lately since i dont have my digi anymore, I use my camera!! I love it!! Great thinking!! Oh and VeRy CuTe DoG!! Thanks- Shary*
thanks for all the hard work, gang.
this is by far the best blogging site out there, on all fronts.
I use Virgin Mobile.hahahaha
I have Cingular and it’s not working for me. My phone is a Sony Ericcson LG500a. It used to work sporadically with my Cingular Sony Ericcson T637.
Well it worked for me (I have T-Mobile). It’d be cooler if I didn’t have giant boxes with red x’s below the actual picture though. I guess there’s graphics that just won’t go through, though the picture wen through just fine.
I am wondering when you will give us all the capability of posting to our blogs telepathically. It would be the ultimate in hands-free blogging.
My Sprint VGA1000 worked to upload my picture instantly. Great job. Oh, and Chris- I have premium now, obviously. Thanks for your help.
I travel for a living and read and post from my Treo smart phone. This will make it MUCh easier. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!
If that ain’t badass, I don’t know what is.
yippy i dont have cell phone why not house phone
PIMP people going to do it with my side kick 2 i hope it works
ima try it with my cingular motorola camera fone! thanks
does it work with sprint phones?!
who r u
idk and rely wana no if u be comin on mi xanga
Thats fly fly fly.. lolz thanks mann
Dont think i know you but that pretty sweet.
so rad!!! except now i might become a little bit more obsessed than i already am.. yikes!
thanks
Cool….I love you guys for trying very hard implimenting new features. That’s is SO cool, and it is worlthed joining xanga. You guys care about us….
I wonder if it is possible you guys can impliment a feature that I have an option put every old posts into private, just a click or an option, instead me going through every entry to set it into private. You know what I mean? Thank you very much!
that’s awesome
Haha, love the dog
that’s off the hook!
Cool! Love the pic of the dog.
Um…but I’ve been posting from my phone since like…March.
I’m guessing this is where I can leave some ideas for Xanga…
I wish that we could TITLE all our entries and maybe have a way of being able to look at every TITLE & the DAY it fell on so past entries could be easily found. On LJ and other blog sites, users can title their entries so it’s much easier to go back through what has been written after a lot of time as past. Any way that could happen with Xanga??? It drives me crazy when I have to look through hundreds of days looking for a certain entry I wrote and want to see again….
I tried emailin a post with my SprintPCS Sanyo MultiMedia-8300 phone and it worked. You should also provide a feature where to allow us EDIT our posts by email
that would be off the hook!
I’m actually shopping for a cell, so I’ll definitly keep that in mind! Thanks!
wow. the asians are a little too excited about this feature.
thanks guys you rock! i have a samsung with verizon and it works just fine!
Cool. I can’t wait to get a new phone!!!
Is there any way to pick the privacy of each email? I know there’s the default settings but what if I wanted to choose otherwise just for that one email? You guys gotta keep adding more for us premium members. For some reason, we don’t get as much as we used to =/.
wazz good….whut is this place????….
awesome! =]
god i love you guys…teehee
Awesome
I have an LG1400 (I think)
niiice<333
~*~LaIyKeN zAmOrRa~*~
It didn’t quite work for me. Maybe I did something wrong? Here’s a copy/paste of the post I received on my site:
Testing out new cell phone posting feature.============================================================Photo Messaging brought to you by Cingular Wireless http://www.cingular.com.You can send the sender of this email a Text Message by simply replying to this message.
thats a wack attack
ps, I have a motorolla v400, with cingular
hella wack
there was an add about posting my mobile phone, how can I??? Can I post it in my Contacts???
~!Kriss
Cool beans dudes!
AWSOME!! 100TH TO COMMENT ;]
cool cool
ah wellthats neat but im only 13 and i dont have a phone so yeah but thanks for makin xanga work
ttyl
pandering for props, eh?
AWESOME!
I have Cellular South and my phone is Audiovox. I emailed a post and that part worked, but I didn’t try sending a picture. I don’t use the camera option on my phone very much. I always tend to have my digital camera on me and besides, my camera takes much better pictures than my phone. Thanks though!
Very cool! Cute dog!!
OK but HOW do you do it? Where can I find directions?
Cool! way to go xanga!
I don’t even have a cell phone so why do I care
awesome!! ^^
do i know you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the feature, but I think the ad verizon attaches will get old. Is there any way to delete that?
ok u are wied you r like a computer nerd lol jkjk u know i think its awsome lol kk well g2g peace
!#$%^&*Madison*&^%$#!
PWN!
i just did it using a motorola mpx220. it was really cool.
woohooo
what is this thingy????????????
mackenzie
I can tell dis is gonna rock!
how does featured content work?
that dog rocks xanga’s world….!_!
I see that you got a cell phone huaaaaaaaaaaa I want one but my Dad said that I could have one when I trun (16 years old) and its only one year a way……….
cool
I just figured I would rejoice with everyone else: Yay!
Photos won’t work with TREO Smartphones using Versamail (phone e-mail program). Please let me know when you get this fixed, cause I would LOVE to Mobblog like Caraaaazyyy…I travel so… it would really help me out. Thanks!
nice chris =)
i’m using the treo 650. it works great, but adds a huge chunk of text to the end (a disclaimer) so i’ve set the posts to be private until i can go in and edit them afterwards to delete the extraneous text. but i’m super glad you guys support this now b/c i was using bluetooth to send my pics to my comp before, or emailing them to myself, saving to comp and then uploading to xanga… this is much easier!
I’m on my way to try to upload using a Sprint Camera phone (VM-A680 by Samsung® )
I’ve been doing this for about a year now… it’s called email posting – if you have a phone that can send an email, you can post from your phone.
Thats so awsome. <3
t-mobile sidekick

awesome!! — thanks
Great!!!!
I tried the email post and it worked perfectly!
I use T-Mobile and have a Motorola V300, and it worked out… as well as could be expected.
The picture came through wonderfully. Unfortunately, T-Mobile puts all sorts of junk, spacers, and T-Mobile text stuff all over its emails. It didn’t like my Firefox browser and wanted to open an external program to view their spacer .gifs.
I didn’t feel like dealing with it, so I deleted the post. The picture I sent, however, came through perfectly, and I was able to insert that into a new entry.
Cute feature! Chances are very high I’ll be taking advantage of it!
sweeeet…i just tried it.
Wow… that’s so stinkin’ cool. I’m with T-Mobile using a Nokia 6800, and it worked!
hey Chris it’s working now! Thanks!
hey i love you xanga it is soooo cool it is the best!!! <33 maddy i dont know you but its cool!!

Great feature. Hard to type much on a mobile, but sometimes it’s important to get the message out.

———————————————————————–
4. Think of something that you want to happen
between you and that 1special person and say

5. Now, heres the hard part! Pick only 1 of these wishes and as
you scroll down focus and
concentrate on it and think on nothing
else but that wish.

Now make one last &final wish about that one wish that you picked.
After reading this, you have 1 hour to send it out to 15 people, and what
you wished for will come true within in one week!
u only get one chance!!!!! Now scroll down and think of your
crush!!!
Keep going down
Keep going
Keep going
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you think of your crush? I hope so, that was
your last chance. Now pay very close attention this important message!
Sorry but once read, must be sent. Yes, this is one of those kinda chain
letters that everyone hates. This one has been going since 1863 and if you
break this chain, you will pay!!!!!! Remember that after hearing these
stories.
First Example:
Take Barbra Wallace.. She was a pretty lucky girl,
up till she got this same chain letter. She had a crush on the same kid
since kindergarden. when she got this mail she didn’t pay any attention to
it. She just thought, no big deal. And deleted it. The next day her dad
got fired and her mom dies in a car crash. If she would have sent the
letter none of that would have happened and her mom would be alive.
Second Example:
Try Freddie D. Now Freddie D. was your average
nerd. Had glasses, was short and chubby, was in gifted. All the signs of
your total dork. He also received this letter and sent it to 51 people in
the hour. Now, like Barbra, he had a crush on a girl since 3rd grade. The
next day after sending the chain the girl confessed her love for him ever
since 3rd grade. Freddie D. finally had the courage to ask her out, and of
course, she had been waiting to yes to that for years. They grew up and
married each other to live happily forever.
Third Example:
Now if you couldn’t relate to the others, this’ll
get ya hooked. Listen to this. A kid named Jordan Johnson was just
getting on AOL to check his mail. He was a quiet kid, not that popular but
not a geek either. he was just normal. He saw he had mail from his
friend. It was this exact letter. Now Jordan Johnsen was a smart kid and
he knew what could happen if he didnt pass it on. He simply pulled a few
friends from his buddy list and sent it along. The next day, about that
same time, he got a phone call. It said he had won the lottery! then his
dad came home and bought him a new bike! His mom bought him Nintendo64 and
play station! His grandmother sent him a new computer, and his best friend
gave him tickets to the concert he wanted to go to, Kid Rock and Limp
Bizkit! Then he inherited a brand-new tv from his aunt! He was goin’ wild!
the next day his secret crush asked him out, and they have been going out
ever since.
Now, you heard the stories. I know which person i’d rather
be, but thats up to you. I wouldn’t wanna end up like Barbra but thats
only me. We all want what we cant have but now’s ur chance to go out with
that special somebody ur waiting for. Take it or leave it. If you send
this to-
1 person- you will lose all luck in ur love
life…..forever!!!!!
10 people- your crush will say they like you as a
friend……ONLY!!!!!
15 people- your crush will say they like you
20 people- your crush will ask you out!
25 people- your crush will kiss you!!
30 people – Your crush will have sex with you
35 people or more- All of the above!!
Don’t blow it, it’s ur chance to shine! Have
everything u wanted, and more! Now, complaining cus u dont have any
friends. Well theres an answer 4 everything. It’s simple, just go in a
chat room, pick some names and send away! but here’s the catch…..you only
have one hour to send it after being read. Please pass this to everyone u
know and keep it going
TAG UR IT!!!! this is so scary. send this to 15 people in the next 143 mins. when you are done press F6 and your crushes name will appear on the screen in big letters. this is scary cuz it works!!!! if you break the chain you will have problems with relationships
the LG VX8100 is soooo good. i’ve had it since July.
