Five WordPress Apps for MoBlogging
As we noted in our article entitled Blogging Platforms That Offer Mobile Blogging Options, WordPress is one of the more difficult services to work with from mobile phones. Luckily, dozens of apps have been released over the past few years to fill this need. Here are five mobile phone apps to try out for your mobile blogging ventures.
WordPress for Blackberry
This app works for self-hosted blogs utilizing Wordpress version 2.7 or higher, as well as for Wordpress.com users. Not only can you add posts, but you can also integrate photos and videos into those posts, moderate comments, and even edit pages. To get started, navigate your mobile's browser to this site.
WordPress for iOS
This is an excellent app for iPhone users. It enables admins to write new posts and add their location using the built-in geo-tag function. Photos and photo galleries can be inserted directly from your iPhone, as well as comments moderated. For those wanting to type using the horizontal function, this app easily adjusts to this landscape setting.
BlogPress
BlogPress can be used with the iPhone, iPad, and even the iPod touch. Mobloggers who work with a number of blog platforms will be thrilled with this app, as it works with WordPress and other major blogging providers. Special features include the ability to assign tags and categories, automatic draft saves, and insert one or more YouTube videos directly into your posts.
WpToGo
If you're an Android user who manages multiple WordPress blogs, this is the perfect app for you. WpToGo offers an easy to use interface, so you don't need to be a tech wiz to figure out how to use it. You can also integrate hyperlinks and change fonts to bold, quotes, etc. Comments can be approved and deleted with the help of this phone app. When you're ready to manage another blog, simply navigate to the main screen and you're just a click away.
WordPress Mobile Pack
This app provides an all-inclusive service that not only lets the blog administrator edit posts from his or her mobile, but also makes the blog more mobile friendly for readers who wish to access the blog away from their computers. If you've wanted to experiment with advertising directed toward mobile users, WordPress Mobile Pack has a special feature catering to this need. You can even find out how many people are accessing your blog from their mobiles using the PercentMobile statistic analyzer.
