Wordpress For iPhone

I have long wanted to write post from smartphone, but due to the nature of my post that requires me to read &do research, it used to put a full stop of my intention.

But now my intention is to test wordpress app for smartphone, where I’m gonna use the new wordpress for iPhone v2.2, so this post is written on iPhone.

Writing post on iPhone or any other smartphones requires more patience because of the smartphone traits itself. The small keyboard or keypad, the screen either touchscreen or not tend to slow you down.

It needs you to be fully prepared with all contents, as certain smartphones do not support multitasking for you to switch between apps or web browser.

In iPhone, fortunately there is auto complete function that suggests words as you type. To me this is a great help as it reduces typo error.

I use image in almost my posts. Uploading images in wordpress for iPhone is fairly simple. However the option is limited, I need at least the function to resize the photo according to my need.

Embedding video or other script seem not possible as I don’t see any HTML mode. Existing post with embedded video or script will be displayed as code in the post editor.

Overall, this app is suitable for life blogging, photo blogging or other posts that require less research.

Wordpress Final Major Release Of the year : Wordpress 2.9

In attempt not to make you feel ‘bored’ during long holiday season, here is the Wordpress 2.9, freshly released by Wordpress team yesterday.  To make your holiday even more ‘meaningful’,version 2.9.1 was released to fixed some issue soon after that. Isn’t that nice?

Among all feature loaded into Wordpress 2.9, these might tempt you to upgrade right away!

  1. Global undo/”trash” feature, which means that if you accidentally delete a post or comment you can bring it back from the grave (i.e., the Trash). This also eliminates those annoying “are you sure” messages we used to have on every delete.
  2. Built-in image editor allows you to crop, edit, rotate, flip, and scale your images to show them who’s boss. This is the first wave of our many planned media-handling improvements.
  3. Batch plugin update and compatibility checking, which means you can update 10 plugins at once, versus having to do multiple clicks for each one, and we’re using the new compatibility data from the plugins directory to give you a better idea of whether your plugins are compatible with new releases of WordPress. This should take the fear and hassle out of upgrading.
  4. Easier video embeds that allow you to just paste a URL on its own line and have it magically turn it into the proper embed code, with Oembed support for YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip.tv, Flickr, Hulu, Viddler, Qik, Revision3, Scribd, Google Video, Photobucket, PollDaddy, and WordPress.tv (and more in the next release).
