Post a Photo to a Photo 365 or 180 Blog

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Smartphones and mobile applications make the process of posting pictures to a personal “Photo365″ photo blog or a “Photo180″ class blog very easy. This is an example of “the ethic of minimal clicks” I highlight in my eBook, “Playing with Media.” Here are the steps I use to post a photo each day to my 365 Photo blog using the free site and iOS app, Tumblr. Follow these steps after creating a free account on Tumblr and downloading the free app to your mobile device.

Step 1: Launch the Tumblr app

Step 2: Click “Post” at the bottom of the screen and then click “Photo”

Step 3: Click “Choose Photo” to share a photo already on your camera roll, otherwise click “Take Photo” and capture one.

Step 4: Select the photo you want to share by clicking on it in your camera roll.

Step 5: Type the text you want to post with your photo (include appropriate Twitter hash tags if you’ve configured your Tumblr account to crosspost to Twitter)

Step 6: Click Post and then view your shared photo online!
