WORDPRESS APP FOR BLACKBERRY

Ok so I have had the new WordPress application for the Blackberry for a few weeks now and have used it to my full ability.

Initially I would like to note that simply having this application has significantly increased my blogging and my impressions online.

However, The app is very minimal and has many limitations I would like to see expanded over the next few updates.

Pro’s

This is the only blogging app for the Blackberry

Simple layout, easy to learn, and understand.

Easy fast real time sync with blog.

When an upload is complete or fails it is very clear. Sometimes being away from your computer to check the post is nerve racking but I experienced no complications.

Con’s

Does not interact with sociable plugins

Adding images to the blog is slightly difficult. Images can be set to re-size automatically but to only one size. Manual coding can only be done after a post is submitted and re-edited. ie. after I blog with a picture I have to submit it, then re open it and physically change to code to a smaller size image to adhere to the aesthetic standards of my site.

To add an image to a blog from the SD memory card of the BB you just go through like 6 drop down menu’s. This could be way simpler.

I’m sure on the iphone most of these functions work more efficiently

Here is a screen shot of the interface
