Use iPhone to Update Your Blog

iPhone Updates from WordPress  – Prologue and Mdot

If you’re an iPhone user, the latest updates are for you, as the new iPhone 3G is rolling out [CBS News reported this morning on The Early Show].

First WordPress has updated their mobile interface, which you can reach at m.wordpress.com, to be much more iPhone friendly. It’s still not sexy, but it’s quite snappy and is great for checking your stats, posting an entry, or posting a bookmark on the go.  Perfect for the on the go photographer, who still wants to keep their blog relevant.

Second they have updated the Prologue theme to be much friendlier to iPhones both for browsing and posting. 

I think the iPhone 3G (combined with these new WordPress tools) is a pretty exciting new platform, and I think as professional photographers we can do more to embrace these and look to use them in the future. [I am actually developing a class on this, let me know if you have any interest in attending.]  Having such a powerful browser available on the phone really opens up what you can do.

Here are two snapshots of the above mentioned features for updating your blog from anywhere via your iPhone:
        

                               

                               

 

Life in this technological world is changing, certainly getting faster.  I look forward to seeing you at one of my classes on “Technology and the Professional Photographer”.
