Mobile Wordpress Blogging from iPhone 3G

Frankly I am not the best typist when it comes to the iPhone's keypad, which is why I wrote most of this particular post from a standard keyboard but I did at least "start" the post on my new iPhone 3G.

I was able to do this because of a new iPhone "App" I downloaded today called simply Wordpress from Automattic Inc. (You may know that my Blog's publishing system is Wordpress) This free app may yet open up a whole new world of "mobile blogging" for this particular blogger.

Even though I do have a Twitter account I use it mostly to follow the exploits and thoughts of people I've subscribed to, I don't do much Twitter posting myself. But Wordpress blogging from my iPhone has greater appeal to me. The only downside is having to use the iPhone's darn virtual keyboard which reduces me to the slowest of "hunt and peckers."

There's a stylus available that is supposed to work with the iPhone but I am sure that solution has its own challenges too, the major one being it's yet one more thing to misplace, although it does come with a nice clip to attach the stylus to the phone.

Perhaps it's just one more thing for my iPhone headphone cords to get wrapped around - one more item giving those iconic cords a chance to de-evolve into yet an even messier rat's nest than I already create - it's not unusual for me to spend minutes unraveling my headphone/mic cords before I can use them.....sigh!

Yeah, this is an issue many people, such as myself, I'm not a fan of all these new virtual touchscreen keyboards. I've always found it kind of awkward when I have to type quite a bit of text and I have to use these keyboards. I was recently thinking about one of those flexible keyboards that I can roll into a small tube and it would easily fit in my purse.
