Mobile blogging (moblogging) is a form of blogging in which the author publishes blog entries directly to the web from a mobile phone or other handheld device. A moblog helps habitual bloggers to post write-ups directly from their phones even when on the move.[1] Mobile blogging is popular among people with camera-equipped phones which allow them to e-mail/MMS or SMS photos and video that then appear as entries on a web site, or to use mobile browsers to publish content directly to any blogging platform with Mobile Posting compatibility. [2][3]

Moblogging is particularly helpful to tourists and travellers when access to a computer with Internet connection may be difficult. The traveller can snap photos and with a GPRS or a WAP-enabled phone can easily upload such pictures with text descriptions directly to his or her blog. This requires a suitable blogging platform or website with necessary plugins or features capable of receiving such emails and also posting them to the website. 

A moblog platform offers the capability to use a phone for administration, editing and writing from the phone or smartphone browser.[citation needed]
