Playing With the WordPress iPhone 1.2 App

Posted on March 18, 2009

WordPress has released their 1.2 version of their iPhone app. Noteable items that this update includes are:

- Landscape Mode
- New/editing pages
- Comment moderation
- Image resizing
- Password protect posts

I am using it to do this post and it seems to be working pretty well.

Good job WordPress iPhone App Dev team!

Now I just need to get used to tying in Landscape mode with my thumbs.

WordPress iPhone App Version 1.1 Released – I Can’t Wait Until 1.2

Posted on August 4, 2008

WordPress has just released the 1.1 version of their iPhone Blogging application. This was mostly a bug and stability fix so their are no noticable feature updates or changes. They did reference the coming 1.2 version and provided a link to it from their announcement iphone.wordpress.net.

The 1.2 version virtually looks like my Don’t Like and Wish List combined together. It is supposed to include the ability to add links to posts, better image insertion, and password protection. This app already has gotten me blogging more but the addition of these items would make my life much easier.

Thanks WordPress team for awesome blogging software and an awesome software app!

WordPress iPhone Blogging App – 5 Posts and a Day Later

Posted on July 24, 2008

I know it gas only been a day (or so) since the WordPress iPhone blogging app has come out but I have already used it to do at least 5 posts on various blogs. As I speculated it is allowing me to blog more which I really have been struggling to do. The fact that I can blog from anywhere has caused me to try to utilize my down time more and I am actually trying to think of things to blog about now. Also, I do not feel restricted by the tiny keyboard and have actually typed some rather long posts (quite longer then long emails that I have done in the past).

With that there have been somethings that have surfaced on my like/dislike/wish lists in regards to the app. I will start with the likes first.

Images are Working Properly Now

Posted on July 22, 2008

Another update here at the idano.net website is that I fixed the issue that I had with images being uploaded and displayed properly.

I did not have the “Full URL path to filed” set. It says that this an optional setting and it worked before but I guess it wanted it now.

Anyway here are some pics from my iPhone to make sure that it is working.

WordPress Releases Blogging Client for the iPhone

Posted on July 22, 2008

Hot off the press – WordPress has released their blogging client for the iPhone. In fact I am typing this post on my iPhone right now.

I have been waiting for this since the iPhone 2.0 firmware release when Typepad released their blogging client. I downloaded it but never used it since I don’t have a Typad blog.

So far this seems to be working great. The add photo section works cool although it adds the photo to the bottom of the post. Preview is awesome since you get to see you post formated in your blogs theme.

I think with this app I am going to be blogging a whole lot more :-) .

P.S. I originally uploaded images from my iPhone to this post but it was not working. That was an issue with this blog not the app. Also, I have noticed with this post that this template is not very WordPress Gallery friendly – I realize that – i am looking for a new theme as we speak as I cannot stand this one anyway.

Installer.app Now works with 1.1.1 – Advise – Wait Until February

Posted on October 31, 2007

I was excited to find out that installer.app can now work with the 1.1.1 firmware. I installed it and add all the apps that I had before the update.

Unfortunately I uninstalled it after a day.

There was definitely a performance and stability difference with my phone right out of the gate. I had several lockups and had to hard reboot my phone a couple of times. Added to that the phone just seemed to run slower.

My advise is to wait until February until approved apps are released.

iPhone + Google Reader + Digg – Playing Together Better Today

Posted on October 3, 2007

Well Google Reader, Digg, and the iPhone seem to be getting along better today. Then links to the original articles have re-appeared when clicking on a digg article from Google Reader.

I am still getting the “Bad Request” error in Google Reader when trying to mark things as read. Due this I only try once a day to mark items as read. If it doesn’t work the one time then I don’t try again.

Hopefully someday Google will fix it.

iPhone + Google Reader + Digg are Not Playing Well Together

Posted on October 2, 2007

I have been using Google Reader on my iPhone since almost the first day that I got my iPhone. It has worked great up until a few days ago when people started talking about it getting “updated” for the iPhone.

Since the “update” I get continual “Bad Reqest” errors when trying to mark all posts on a page as read. If that wasn’t bad enough as yesterday any post that I click on for digg does not have the link to the actual article but the comments only. If I try to use digg’s iPhone version the sites that they are linking to often load too slow (over Edge) to be of any use. Due to this I diggless at this point which sucks.

Oh well, maybe going without digg for a few days is actually a good thing ;-) .

Quit Complaining About 3rd Party Apps on the iPhone

Posted on October 1, 2007

I am seriously get tired of all the bitching going on about how you cannot run 3rd party apps on the iPhone. People the are hacks, not solutions. As Apple attempts to improve their core product these hacks are going to het screwed up. That is just rhe way it is.

As mentioned previously my phone runs better WITHOUT the 3rd apps so I am happy. The reason for my happiness is that I am using the iPhone as it was intended to be used.

This reminds me of all those people running OS X on non-Apple hardware. The difference is that they understand that they are doing something that was never intended to be done. They see updates and are excited at the challenge of figuring out how to make it work on their machine.

They don’t cry and complain when they hit the software update button and download something that was not intended to work with their setup. They simply reinstall and wait for someone to figure out how to make the update work with their setup.

People get a clue, this is Apple, not Linix.
