3. To add a background image from a URL to your blog post. (For Mitel 5360 Models only)

Labels #2 20,30,40
To apply labels to specific posts, simply enter in the same label for related posts.
For example, if you have advertisements and staff promotions in one blog, you would apply the label “advertisements” to all the advertisement blog posts, and apply the label “staff promotions” to all the staff promotion blog posts. When you use Live Desktop Portal to program Blogger on your phone, you will then enter “advertisements” or “staff promotions” into the filter field to show only those posts.
Note: If you are applying more than one label to a post, you must separate each label with a comma.

Labels #4
To add a background image from a URL to your blog post, simply enter “BG:”, then the full image URL. You will not be able to see the background image on the blog but you will see the image on the phone. Best image size for backgrounds are 480 pixels wide by 800 high.
Labels #5
To have only the blog posts you have created for certain phone sets appear, simply enter “ShowOn:”, then the phone model(s) that you would like the posts to render to. The blog post will then only appear on the phone sets specified.
For example, if I create a pair of blog entries for Today's Special, I can create a special blog entry with larger graphics, and more text, and add the label, ShowOn:5360. I can create a second blog entry with less text with smaller graphics, and add the label, ShowOn:5320;5330;5340. Both entries would contain the TODAYSSPECIAL label, but the appropriate content will be rendered on the phone model(s) identified in the ShowOn label. The Today’s Special entry that has larger graphics and more text would only show on the 5360 phone models while the Today’s Special with less text and smaller graphics would only show on the 5320, 5330 and 5340 phones.
