I would like my site to be able to automatically post pictures that someone can email from there smart phone. I need some help getting started with the code. I don't know what would be the best language to use or where to find some tutorials to code it myself.

10,137 PointsI know I can do that, but I need something "home grown" if you know what I mean. It's for a personal project. My idea is to piggy back on gmail, using a gmail account that receives pictures from iphone users and then post those pictures to my website.

Having some background with Python I've dabbled with learning Django it seems like it would be relatively simple to accomplish and there might even be some tutorials on how to create photo sites(I know I've seen a few about blogs at the least).
