Using QR Codes

To scan, you need a QR code reader.

Android iOS

Not one of these? Check your app store/online for a reader for your phone. Blackberry, I’m told, has one built into the system.

QR codes every day

“Anyone can post.” •  I don’t recommend keeping this setting 24/7.

•  Just for security & piece of mind.

Consider a private site. •  I have not tried these posting options with a

private site. Please let me know what works.

Consider a Posterous site as an add-on.
