If you’re looking to do some mobile blogging, or just blogging via email post, check out the brand new Posterous web site.
You can create a Posterous blog just by sending an email to this address: post@posterous.com with the email subject line as the post title and the email message as the post body.
Then you will get an instant response telling you that your blog has been created, its address, and how to create a password. Creating a password also allows you to adjust your address if needed. I got “Mitch” right off the bat.
My Posterous blog is at http://mitch.posterous.com. I don’t have much there now, just an old photo of Niagara Falls. I may just post photos there — old or new, but mostly old. Random shots from my life. Why not? It’s free.
You can post video, too, if you want to. Or just plain old words. To post, you just send an email to post@posterous.com, with your media files attached. Or without media files. It’s easy.

what do you mean, exactly, by “mobile blogging”?

Since you update your Posterous blog via email, you can do it with any device that can send an email, such as a cell phone. Email posts are possible with other blogging platforms, too, but Posterous is set up for email updating for the get-go.
