Haven't heard of Nucleus before but if I get a mo I'll give it a whirl. From what you're describing in being able to post to a blog via e-mail, this functionality has been available in Wordpress for pretty much as long as I can remember through the use of cron jobs but for me the thing I was looking for was a more holistic backend admin approach. The problem with the e-mail approach is that it would be limited to text only unless you combined it with an FTP client for a mobile phone and then hand coded in the bits for images which sort of takes out the user friendliness objective. Technically possible but I would prefer to keep it simple, especially when using a mobile phone. Thanks for that Greg. Haven’t heard of Nucleus before but if I get a mo I’ll give it a whirl.

One will take a suitably addressed email from you and post it direct to your blog. It wouldn't surprise me if some enterprising soul has written one for Wordpress as it is fairly straightforward php.
