Set up and run your own servers for moblogging!

Many power bloggers run their own blogging server so that they can have complete control over the content and presentation of their blog. While Flickr can interoperate with many popular blog systems, it is still a "hosted" service that is beyond the blogger's control. For instance, there is no guarantee that the free Flickr service won't be replaced by a for-pay service in the future. If you want complete end-to-end control over your moblog, you can customize existing blog server software to make it support email posting with photo attachments from a mobile phone. In this hack, you will learn how to set up the popular WordPress blog server to support photo moblog postings.

Running your own server also gives you complete access to web site visitor statistics, the ability to back up the web site, and many other features.
