Myself and 2 other couriers are doing a ride for charity and have a little site to help raise some cash for good causes.

We're hoping to have a blog on the site for the one day ride of 870 miles but without having to fire up a laptop and change the site.

Would it be possible to email blog entries to a specific address that then get displayed on the site?

Any other options?

apologies if this is total stupidity

Blogger lets you do this, you merely set it up and one of the setup tabs allows you to have an email address which you email and it updates the blog and attaches any pictures you attach to the email.

Cheers for that, looks like that direct people away from the site and we want them to stay on the site.

We'll also have a tracking system in place so that anyone interested cab see our progress in real time and want it all on one page if possible

What CMS are you using for the blog?

Wordpress allows for this:

and if one of you has an iPhone this will fulfil your GPS Tracking needs:

https://www.instamapper.com/

EDIT: it looks like they now support other phones as well.

You can use:

iPhone
Blackberry
Android
Motorola iDEN

For blogging, Wordpress is the daddy, get on it.
