Reviewed: WordPress for iPhone 1.2

// April 9th, 2009 // No Comments » // Technology, wordpress

I’m posting this from my iPhone using the new version of WordPress for iPhone blogging app, version 1.2. It’s pretty awesome and you can check out a snazzy video of it at wordpress.tv.

Well, I started this post several days ago, but never got to finish it because WordPress for iPhone crashed on me and when I restarted it wouldn’t let me access this blog. I was also busy doing other things this weekend and so I forgot about it.

The cool thing is that when I started WordPress up just now and went to this blog it informed that it had auto-recovered the post and I could pick up where I left off. Seems like although there are a few bugs, they’ve got a nice auto-recover built into it.

I’ve taken a few screenshots, but I really suggest you check out the video.

Wordpress RSS Thumbs Widget

This is a plugin which will provide you with a widget in which you can pull thumbnails from up to two RSS feeds.  I created it to showcase the latest posts from my daughters’ blogs with thumbnails of the posts along with the title of the post and a link to the original post.

I wrote this because I was originally trying to use the very nice KB Advanced RSS Widget, but apparently, the feed parser in WordPress doesn’t support enclosures.  I still use the KB widget for other feeds on my blog. (more…)
