If you're sorting things by taxonomy tags, the type of node really doesn't matter too much. The taxonomy is the selector, and you can just pull all published nodes with specific terms into a view whether they're blog entries, stories, or whatever.
Look at apps such as iBlogger on iPhone. You can set it up easily to update a Drupal blog with text and photos from the phone's camera. This eliminates the need for Full HTML and uploading images through a web browser. Once you do it, you'll be hooked. You have a fully automated path from iPhone and camera--wherever--to your website and to the specific location that's appropriate by using taxonomy-sensitive views.
