Quick update.
WordPress released a “bugs fixed” version of the iPhone app on August 4. Despite previously expressed trepidation, I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade to WordPress 2.6. WordPress and iPhone app are still fully functional after upgrade to 2.6.
This is my first post written via my iPhone. More accurately, it’s my first post ‘started’ on the iPhone. I still don’t have enough patience or facility with the iPhone keyboard to create a text intensive post that way.
When Steve Jobs featured a Typepad interface App during the Apps store segment of the iPhone 3G introduction I knew that a WordPress app would be imminent. And so it was that, on July 22, Automattic Inc. released WordPress for iPhone. True to the WordPress mission the application is Free and Open-Source; meaning that anyone can contribute to the development of this app.
Having a lot of eyeballs vetting the App is probably a good idea because there are some problems. I am currently running WordPress 2.51 and, although WordPress is encouraging everyone to upgrade to WordPress 2.6, I think I’ll wait a little while. (more…)

I spent some time last night with the plugin directory and I now have a total of 24 plugins; of which 16 are active and 8 inactive. One of the new plugins is called Organize Series . I’ll test out its practicality and functionality on this series of posts on plugins.
WordPress is an open source blogging platform. One of the most exciting aspects of this is the large number of interesting and useful plugins that developers have created to make WordPress more suited to their own needs and, consequently, the needs of the rest of the WordPress community. Here is a list of plugins I am currently using, or planning to use on this blog. Thanks to Lester Chan for creating the plugin (WP-PluginsUsed 1.30) that rendered the following list:
