As any of you who are regular readers of BM-Bloggers may have noticed, our blog server structure had become a little confused over the years. We started BM-Bloggers as a single blog hosted using .Text, we then moved it to a multi blog server hosted on Community Server 2.0, then started adding other blogs and mirrors as the volume of posts from our development team grew. This ended up finally being hosted on CS2.1.

We have today upgraded our blog server from CS2.1 to CS2007 and taken the chance to restructure it slightly, making far better use of the aggregation features of CS.

This may mean that some of you will need to change RSS feeds URLs, but we hope we have minimized the number of people this effects. So the revised links are:

A list of all the blogs we host (the CS2007 home page) - http://blogs.blackmarble.co.uk/
The aggregate of all the post made by Black Marble staff in any blog we host (equiv. to the old BM Bloggers mirror) - http://blogs.blackmarble.co.uk/blogs/default.aspx?GroupID=2
This aggregate can also be accessed by our original blog link - http://blogs.blackmarble.co.uk/bm-bloggers
There is also an RSS feed for BM-Bloggers aggregate - http://blogs.blackmarble.co.uk/blogs/MainFeed.aspx?GroupID=2&Type=AllBlogs

I hope you all continue to find our blog postings interesting and useful, and we look forward to reading any comments.

Some time ago I upgraded my Orange mobile to an M700.  It's a very nice phone indeed, and the ability to be able to use TomTom 6 on it as well saves me having to varry around yet another electronic device.

One thing about it did however annoy me - there was no equivalent of the T9 text input that I had on my old phone.  I wasn't keen on getting the stylus out to tap away at the tiny keyboard shown on the screen when I wanted to write a text message.  I tried getting a copy of HTC phonepad working on the phone, but to no avail.

After some research, I've managed to get it to work okay.  Here's what I had to do:

• Install 'G4 SIP Tweak.cab' - links to this are available in a number of places, try forum.xda-developers.com
• Install 'HTC_SIPsettings.cab' - links to this are available in a number of places, try forum.xda-developers.com
• Install Phonepad - again, there are plenty of links to the application out there

The phone needed a soft reset between installing each of these items.

Once installed, I can now switch between the standard keyboard and Phonepad as I like!
