Splicing and Dicing, Digitally

The meager musings of a media junkie.

WordPress has an iPhone app!

Well, once again I have been pleasently surprised by the amazing apps that people have developed for the iPhone and are willing to give away for free.

Today I searched for “WordPress” and of course, they have one and it’s free! I can link to multiple blogs, create posts and save them as drafts pro can immediately post them. I can attach photos I have taken or I can take one within the app to include with a post (though it crashed the first time I tried to do that). One of my favorite features is the ability to do almost anything within the app in landscape mode, something that won’t seem so amazing when OS 3.0 comes out.

Some features I would like to see include:

• Built in spell checking. The iPhone’s built in ability to do this is severely limited.
• Image editing. Sometimes you need to crop out the unimportant, especially if subscribers are primarily using mobile devices.
• Formatting. Currently only plain text is allowed when composing posts.

All in all I’d rate WordPress mobile 4 out of 5 thumbs up. It works great for attaching photos and short posts but gives you the tools to make longer posts as painless as possible. By the way, I created this entire post using the app!
