What is the best way to live-blog a cross-country road trip??
(I work with the MT and Vox teams, fwiw.) I’ve done a lot of blogging from on the road, with similar setups. I’ve mostly been using PCs, but I can’t see any reason why an EDGE hookup with a Mac wouldn’t work great. I think Vox’s ability to easily pull in your Flickr pix and the like would make it the best option — you probably don’t want to be messing with server software while you’re on your trip, because FTPing into a server to fix an errant plugin over a slow EDGE connection is a path to madness. And you might want to look into blogging client software (like Ecto or Marsedit or whatever) so you can write when you’re offline and then just sync up when you’re in a spot with connectivity. There are some apps that let you make GPSed maps that will post to your blog; I’ve seen them used on Vox and TypePad but don’t know the names of them offhand. Can’t wait to see your trip — this sounds cool!
