App Review: WordPress iPhone

Filed Under: iPhone by — Leave a comment

Installed WordPress for my iPhone yesterday. I’m quite impressed so far. Still a few glitches but this will become (and already is) a really useful app.

You can add posts, upload pictured, moderate comments and more.

Still a few crashes though and would be good to see some more options. I’ll give this 7 out of 10 for now.

UPDATE:

I am now less than impressed with this app. Adding new posts is easy enough, but editing existing ones is not. The blog preferences section is still not working and it frequently gets stuck.

Don’t get me wrong, there is real potential here, just completely not finished. I’m downgrading it to a 5.5 / 10.

These fonts are very useful for viewing Japanese text. They were designed by Ricoh and are owned by Microsoft. Although they are freely available on the internet, they are not freeware. They are governed by Microsoft licenses, but you are able to download and use them for free. The files come from www.themeworld.com.

MS Gothic

This is a sans serif font. It has both nice looking Western and Japanese faces.

New Site Up

OK, so everyone who has been to the old site knows it badly needed updating. I wrote the old CMS as a project to learn PHP and while it was useful, the site didn’t look great. Also it took ages to write new stuff and was clunky to use. I’ve decided to migrate to wordpress now and have to admit it feels really nice to use. I’ll be transferring old content over when I get time.
