W ordPress 2 iPhone app has just been released. I had a quick look and I like it. It is a perfect iPhone application for mobile blogging. It is very simple to log in to your WordPress blogs (both .com and .org). Blog URL, username and password are all the things you need. WordPress iPhone app now features a very easy to use navigation on the bottom of the screen with “Comments”, “Posts” and “Pages” . This  navigation allows you to easily switch between these areas. WordPress 2 iPhone comments area Comments area lets you review comments, approve, unapprove, delete and mark as spam. Comments area looks very nice now as you can see the avatars of your readers and also their website URL’s. Is it just me or is there no way to reply to a comment via the app itself? Posts section of the iPhone blogging app Posts area lets you view your published posts, your drafts and lets you add a new post. If you go into “add a new post”, you get a post writing navigation menu which features “Write” where you can insert the title, tags, categories, the status (draft, private, published etc.) of the post and it is also here that you write the post itself. Second tab in the post writing navigation is “Photos” which lets you add photos from your iPhone library or take a new photo with your iPhone camera. The third tab is Preview and it allows you to see a preview of your post. Photos will be attached to the bottom of the post when you publish it. Last tab is Settings and it

allows you to schedule the publish date, set a password-protected post, and an automatic resize of photos option which results in faster publishing but smaller photos. Pages area lets you see all your WordPress blog pages and you can also create a new page. It is also possible to add photos to your page, just like you do in a post. Few more screenshots of WordPress application WordPress mission accomplished According to WordPress, the focus of WordPress 2 iPhone app was on better user experience and on eliminating the bugs and it seems that they have accomplished what they wanted. It is easy to use, it runs fast, what more can you wish for when you are on the go and have to publish something. It is not possible to style the post in a visual editor, position the pictures, add H3 tags and similar yet, but if you are on the go, I do not think you need that anyway. It is all about getting the message across quickly.
