Well it’s about time. Since OS 3.0 came out, the free WordPress app has been kinda’ buggy. When you’d start it up, if you didn’t like move your iPhone around to let the app since what angle it was being held in (horizontal and not vertical), once you started a new post or opened a draft, the text would only be viewable for one line of text no matter what orientation you had it in. You’d have to close the app out, start it up again, rotate your iPhone some, and then see a glitch animation to appear to know it wad then safe to go into a post.

So it’s good to see that they’ve fixed this issue… and hopefully any others. (like a photo posting bug)

I setup my WordPress app to handle a second blog, but everytime I went to include a post that had images in it, it came back with an error. I searched online and no one had the error I was having.

I figured out what is what. I had the “Resize Images” turned off. For some reason, that was causing errors. Turning it on fixes the problem.

So there ya go.

So the WordPress app update the day before was suposed so fix the photos being posted upside down, but it didn’t. Well now it’s been fixed with today’s update. Nice… That was startin’ to get on my nerves.

Here a photo as a test that it works.

So get this, WordPress has released a new version of their free WordPress app. This baby adds horizontal support for typing with the larger keyboard. That must have been from the announcment from Apple that they would allow programmers access to the iPhones feature to use the keyboard in landscape mode. So clearly usin’ WordPress in landscape mode is from the 3.0 “SDK”.

So far, it’s nice usin’ this in landscape mode. Landscape is better for usin’ with two hands, but of course portrait keyboard is better for one hand. The good news is that it can be used either way, just rotate your iPhone / iPod Touch.

Another nice feature is the ability to edit pages. Not posts, but pages, such as “Contact” or “About”, things that have content.

They also allow for comment moderating. When someone posts a comment, rather than havin’ to go on your computer to accept a comment, you can do it from the WordPress app.

The last thing they have is the option to resize photos. That’s a great feature for people who’er wantin’ to upload large photos from their photo library, but I’m not sure if it’s needed for uploading screen shots or pics taken with an iPhone. The pic I’ve included now is usin’ the reduce picture size setting.

Peace, J

Update: I’m not sure why, but the one photo I included from a pic I took earlier today got posted upside down. Not sure why, kinda’ funny. But I’m hopin’ this is either a one time thing, or something they’ll fix.

Update: Ok, I left out mentioning that they added support for creating links. I left it out because I didn’t see any option for links. But I checked online and you create a link by typing out the start of a link. Here’s an example. Wired News

Just that easy.

Update: So yeah, WordPress has announced that there is an image posting bug that does rotate photos upside down ‘n’ crap, so they’ll release a fix for it soon. That’s cool then.
