I really like the new PicPosterous app but it's taken me a while and some trial and error to work out how I'm going to use it to best advantage.

I see a really neat application for my work as a freelance trainer in giving me a very fast way to capture the workshop or training or event with my iPhone and then have that stuff almost instantly online at the end of the workshop.  It really is a brilliant way of saving me all that normal work of uploading and sorting when everyone has gone home and I'm tired.

So how am I going to use it? Here's where I am with it at the moment:

I have one workshop - a Start Your Own Business/Be Your Own Boss 2 day workshop that I run over and over again and I wanted a way of containing these pictures in one place without them autoposting all over the place while I'm merrily shooting away.

I've set up another Posterous as a container for all this stuff and I set it up using the "create another Posterous" function behind the scenes. (BTW, when you set up another blog you get more advanced web posting options "Which site do you want to post this to?")

I then went to my iPhone and tried to send a trial shot to the new blog but I couldn't figure out how to do that as the new blog did not appear as an option.

This was really frustrating for a while but I powered down my iPhone completely, left it five min and then switched it on again. When I went into PicPosterous and created a new album, one of those cool scroll wheels appeared which offered me a choice of blogs.

I have named an album with international date format and location as a container for the shots tomorrow and Tuesday.  I have also chosen to set the album to "Private" and turn off autoposting so I've got some control over my snaps before they end up all over the place.

Now that I'm set up, I should be able to snap the people and all my flipcharts as a record of the event by assigning them all to this container album each time. If my phone is on I'll send them direct but when I turn the phone off (good practice for the trainer!) I can snap and the pictures  will queue. When I turn my phone on at lunch, they should just upload.

Fingers crossed, I can now create a unique record of the event with no hassle and no work.

So, my process for each new event looks like:

• Write the date and location on the flipchart when I'm setting up and use this as the first shot to create an album for that event
• Snap, add, snap, add, snap, add - repeat
• Remember to tell everyone where they can see them
