Nice summary… tho, I guess http://www.photocamp.org.uk didn’t make the edit lol. Hope to see you again soon.

Wuups, Jon. I’ve now rectified that and linked all the site addresses in the post. Having posted from my mobile I’d really like to see if I can get hypertext links to work. Guess I’ll have to take a look at the Postie plugin again.

Update: No further alterations to the postie plugin required to be able to include hypertext links in a post - simply use standard HTML code.
I did suspect this, but hate assuming - it’s been tested now. :)
