Using the Wordpress iPhone App
June 20, 2009 – 11:10 pmI am writing this post using the Wordpress iPhone App with my laptop sitting a few scant feet away from me. Why?
First, because I can. I received my first iPhone, the new iPhone 3G S, in the mail on the 19th and have been immersing myself in this new delightful world for the past couple of days much to the chagrin of my family. The iPhone blurs all traditional communication platforms. In doing so, my iPhone allows me to stay connected in so many ways away from my computer.
Secondly, I am previewing the Wordpress iPhone App. I am quite pleased so far. It was easy to connect to my blog using my admin account and start blogging. The Wordpress iPhone App allows me to tag and categorize my posts, which are requisite SEO and organizational features for me. It even saved a draft copy of my post when there was an interrupt (which is important especially since this post is longer than originally planned).
My only concern now is the carpal tunnel that I might develop typing on my iPhone. Good work, Wordpress.

hi there. have you experienced encoding problems using the WP iPhone app? i have. i edited an existing post using the app, and after saving it, i noticed that the app stripped off all html tags, quotation marks and ampersands.

Blogie, thanks for the comment. I recently tested the encoding problems you mentioned in a post written by the standalone Wordpress platform and then edited using the Wordpress iPhone App. I have OS 3.0 and a new iPhone 3GS. After reviewing the edits, the Wordpress iPhone App did not string off the html tags, quotation marks, or ampersands. The only bug that I have encountered so far is that the iPhone App does not bring up my category list, the only option is creating a new category for each new post, which obviously defeats the purpose.
