Brainstorm<\/h4>\n
It occurred to me that the Navionics app allowed me to post my tracks to Facebook directly, so there must be a way to leverage that for my WordPress blog. Then I remembered the Post by Email function built into WordPress. What this does is generate a complex email address and any email sent to it automatically posts to the blog. I checked it out again (haven’t looked at it for several versions) and it was vastly improved and no longer needs a specified mail server.<\/p>\n
And it allows the use of a great set of shortcodes<\/em> to provided most of the functionality I normally use.<\/p>\n [category d-autres] So if I combine my newfound use of Markdown<\/a> and its shortcuts (previously detailed <\/a>) with the email function of the app, I could post directly to my blog with all the text for the blog entry, a thumbnail of the track and a link to the original KML file all in one swoop. Then I could come back later and reset the KML files using the ftp method so they stuck around for posterity.<\/p>\n So, write the blog post in a text-editor using markdown & shortcodes, copy it into the Navionics app on the appropriate Track, and hit send. Simple as pie!<\/p>\n The posts would look like this:<\/p>\n To day I set sail and sailed the ocean blue in my sailboat powered completely by sails. It was grand!<\/p>\n Track recorded with Navionics App.
