How To Post To A Wordpress Blog From Your BlackBerry

How To Post To A Wordpress Blog From Your BlackBerry

The last couple of days have been very interesting for bloggers who own a Blackberry and host their blog on Wordpress.In fact, they can finally write and publish a blog post straight from their lovely device. At least two solutions came out, both very interesting and well worth a look.

The first one is an official free Wordpress app while the second from a company called ScreamingToaster, Wicked Wordpress App. Both apps are in public beta but while the former is available already, to get the second one you have to fill a form and the company will contact you in the following 12 hours.

I had the opportunity to test the first one only and I look forward to being contacted soon to try the other one, too. According to some tests already made, the official app seems to be the favorite since it can be installed in a wider range of devices (ScreamingToaster’s one can be used with WP 2.7.1 and OS 4.6 only) and they provide user with basically the same features.

With the official app you can also upload photos, insert tags, categories and so on. The only thing I haven’t be able to achieve is rich formatting.

To download the official Wordpress app, just point your BB browser to this link: http://blackberry.wordpress.org/install. Stay tuned for a review of the Wicked Wordpress App. In the meantime you can take a look at BerryReview for some screenshots.

  • Storm version is not so good, isn't full screen and touch feature badly implemented. Same problem in both of them :)
  • If you know html you can format all day long through the Wordpress App...
  • Easier than ever... will try it soon, thanks!
