I am part of a two man relay team that will be competing in a 508 mile bike race called the Furnace Creek 508.  I setup a website for our team and wanted to have a way to update it while on the road using only my iPhone.

You can see the solution I developed here: http://www.ultracycle.net/prairiedog/index.php

Embedded into the website are two different RSS feeds.  One is from a gallery on SmugMug and the other from a WordPress blog.

I use two applications on my iPhone.  One is called SmugShots that allows me to take pictures with the iPhone and upload them to a gallery on Smugmug.  The pictures are saved on the iPhone until I am in a location where I get network access.  The thumbnails will soon appear on our team website.  I set the coding to show the last 7 photos.  If someone clicks any thumbnail they are taken to the SmugMug gallery.

The other application called WordPress allows me to post blog entries to a WordPress Blog.  The first part of the blog entry will show up on the website via RSS.  Those than want to read the whole entry just click on it.

Both applications are free.  This seems to be the easiest way to update the website using only the iPhone.  I would like to figure out one other item.  Near the top of our website I am using a Flash player to show a slideshow of images.  I am using some photos from last year’s race by our team but would like to figure out how to use the iPhone to upload some of the photos to the right folder on the webserver.  If anyone has an idea how to do that, please contact me at franz@kelsch.com.
