What is this?
-------------

PhoneBlogz is a system that allows you to leave a voice message by phone to be posted
to your Wordpress blog.  When a message is left, a page is requested on your
Wordpress site that tells it to check phoneblogz.com for new messages.
If any new messages are found, they are posted to your blog.


Requirements
------------

This plugin will only work under Wordpress 2.0 or greater under Linux.  
It hasn't been tested on Windows and WILL NOT work with Wordpress 1.5 or earlier.
You'll need to register at http://www.phoneblogz.com to get an access code and PIN number

If you plan to use the Audio llayer plugin (http://www.1pixelout.net/code/audio-player-wordpress-plugin)
then remember to install and active it then select "Use Audio Player" in the PhoneBlogz configuration page.


Setup steps
-----------

There are three things you'll need to setup for the system to work:

1) Register and configure an account at http://www.phoneblogz.com
   - go to http://www.phoneblogz.com and register for an account
   - make note of your access code and PIN number you receive via e-mail

2) Install the code and configure your Wordpress site
   - unzip the .tar.gz file and move the entire phoneblogz directory to wp-content/plugins
   - active the PhoneBlogz plugin in the wp-admin pages
   - under "PhoneBlogz Configuration" enter your access code and password, 
     check the notify URL is valid and click "Submit changes"
   - under "PhoneBlogz Configuration", click Edit Users then choose the correct
     WordPress user for each PhoneBlogz name under your account

3) Using the system
   - call a PhoneBlogz access number (http://www.phoneblogz.com/help/howcanipost.php)
     or your dedicatged number if you've purchased on
   - enter your access code and PIN number if necessary, then leave a message and press #
   - PhoneBlogz should then call your checkmessages.php page which should
     post the message to your blog if you selected to publish your message after you recorded it


Known problems
--------------

None at present!


Troubleshooting
---------------

If messages aren't appearing on your blog, check the following things:

1) On phoneblogz.com, make sure your message appears in the "Recent Blogz" page.
   If the message isn't there, contact us as something has gone wrong!

2) In the PhoneBlogz configuration page in wp-admin, click "Check for messages".
   You should see your message in a list.  If it's not there check the access
     and PIN codes.

3) In a browser, go to the URL you entered in the Notification URL area.
   If the URL can't be found you're using the wrong notification URL.

4) check that you have a wp-content/uploads directory and that it is writable by
   the linux user that your web server is running under (eg apache or nobody)
