Three main technological discoveries from moblogging on a trip to Akita this weekend are that (1) somehow everything was going up in the wrong category, meaning that my supposedly photos-only "photowall" blew up all over the place, (2) the version of Internet Explorer in Windows CE will not let me do anything more than log in and look at MT entries, and (3) FOMA phones don't work in the mountains.
Regarding (1) I now know what I need to do to make it possible to post photos with text comments that appear on the index page, then have just the images appear in a "photowall" without having to push the text into the extended entry; use the MTPhotoGallery, MTEmbedImage and MTGrid plugins.
The embed image plugin is to kill two birds with one stone; so far I have been taking 352 x 288 CIF images and cutting them down to 176 x 144 QCIFs in the phone to upload, mainly because I didn't have a way to control the size they showed up as on the web and didn't want a huge image in every post.
Using the photo gallery and grid plugins, I should be able to achieve the "photowall" I intended and keep everything automated.
As for the Windows CE problem, haven't nailed it yet.

Suspect the rebuild problem might be something to do with DoCoMo's mopera ISP service, which they have apparently been meddling with to prevent virus attacks.
