I am a big fan of the WordPress Blogging Platform, so the update comes with much joy and appreciation. In the world of wireless there is always something new hitting the wire every minute. So having the ability to update your blog or site for your readers on demand is very important to a technology writer. The team over at WordPress understands these things, and has been working on a feature rich blogging application for the BlackBerry.
Raanan Bar-Cohen posted this update on what’s new for the WordPress for BlackBerry beta application.
We’ve been diligently working on a slew of new features for the latest v.157 beta which is available now. Lots going on, and really happy with the feedback and participation in the community as we get close to a 1.0 release. Here’s what’s new:
We’ve updated the comments UI and also added:
- Gravatar support
- Ability to open the URL of the author into the BB browser
- A reply to comment feature, so you can moderate and respond all from the mobile device.
On the Post and Page screens we’ve also updated the UI and added:
- The ability to open the comment list for a specific post
- Support for the post excerpt field
- Support for custom fields
- We’ve also added support for SD cards which should help with memory issues and also multimedia files.
If you are running one of the latest versions of the app, it should prompt you to upgrade. If not, you can always download the latest version by pointing your mobile browser to: http://blackberry.wordpress.org/install
And always, if you have any issues, please post to the forums so we can effectively track and respond to the issue: http://blackberry.forums.wordpress.org/
