A Step by Step Guide to creating a new Blog entry using your iPhone

Creating an ExplorOz Blog using your iPhone is extremely simple. (If creating a Blog using another phone, the process is essentially the same however the specifics will be slightly different).

Step 1

Open the Camera App on your iPhone.

Step 2

Take a photo(s) of your location/activity (or whatever you like for that matter!)

Step 3

Open the Photos App and select ‘Camera Roll’. You should see the photos you have taken as thumbnails. Tap the Share icon at the top right of the screen (or bottom left depending on the OS you are using), then tap the photos you wish to add to your Blog. As you tap each image, it will become translucent and a red tick will be added to the image. Once you have selected your images, tap the ‘Share’ button at the bottom left of the screen and select email.

Step 4

After a few moments you will be presented with a new email message. You should also notice that the images you selected are attached.

In the TO field, enter Blogs@ExplorOz.com
The FROM field should contain the email address attached to your ExplorOz account.
In the SUBJECT field enter the name of the Blog. Eg. "My Wiluna Campsite"
In the body of the email, type a description to be used in your Blog. This can be as brief or as detailed as you like.

Step 5

Click the Send button at the top right of your screen. This will send your description, along with your photos to ExplorOz. The ExplorOz Blog system will then create a new Blog on your behalf, which will contain your photos and description.

Step 6

Thats it! Your new Blog entry is now live on your ExplorOz Profile. Be sure to give your ExplorOz profile URL out to your friends and family, that way they can view your Blog whilst your on the road - In real time! Not only is your new Blog entry displayed on your profile, it is also promoted on the ExplorOz homepage, Blog index page and Forum homepage.

Its as easy as that!!
