WordPress – the very same software that powers this ‘umble site – has just enjoyed an upgrade to version 3.3, with the latest update including useful features like iPad Optimisation, a new drag-and-drop uploader and a Tumblr Importer.
We’re hearing reports of folks having problems with their WordPress accounts, and we’re suffering the same too.
All attempts to access our stats being met with this message:
WordPress users (and that includes us) are currently experiencing a series of errors, with the dashboard throwing up all sorts of curious messages.
The good news is that they’re currently “pushing all of their resources” into fixing the issue, and they’re already thanking us for our patience, which is rather nice.
But who is to blame?
WordPress, the open source Content Management System that powers 13% of the 1,000,000 biggest websites on the planet has just received an update, with version 3.1 being christened ‘Django”’ in honour of the jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. Which is nice.
Folks struggling to make sense of the excellent WordPress content management system (the very thing that powers this ‘umble website) may be pleased to see that coder extraordinaire Joost de Valk has produced a natty infographic to explain all.
WordPress have already served up official apps for Android, iPhone and BlackBerry, and now Nokia users can start blogging on the go with the release of the beta WordPress for Nokia app.
After spending some considerable time fiddling about with all of our WordPress settings, shouting a lot, and screaming at our browser, we decided to take a look on Twitter and it seems that an awful lot of people are having trouble accessing their WordPress stats too.
WordPress – the most popular blog software on the planet and the content management system powering this very site – has just enjoyed a major upgrade to version 3.0.
Mobile bloggers toting Android phones should be chuffed to discover that WordPress is now available in the Android Market.
The new app has been based on the popular wpToGo app, which has been used as the foundation for the WordPress app.
The old wpToGo app will now be unceremoniously shunted off into a disused branch line and left to rust away, while all the development efforts will focus on the the Open Source WordPress for Android app project.
If Santa slipped a shiny new Blackberry into your festive sack and you haven’t had time to enjoy a good rummage through the offerings in BlackBerry App World, we’ve hand picked a selection of four top apps to get you started:
As the sharp eyed amongst you may have noticed, this site – like millions of others – purrs along happily on the excellent WordPress content management system.
If you share our good taste and are also running a WordPress blog, you should have updated the software up to v2.9 by now.
Sadly, Postbot turned out to be even worse than WpToGo.
After installing the app on our G1 phone (a process that took some considerable time as the app took forever to download), it turned out to be buggier than Billy Bugeye sitting in a bucket of bulbous bugs, completely crashing out when an image was attached.
It seems our quest for a half decent Android WordPress client is set to continue.
Next stop: we’re going to try adding a post via the browser.
This is a test post from an Android G1 phone using the WpToGo mobile WordPress app. The interface seems pretty straightforward and simple to use, if a little clunky.
Let’s see what happens if I try and add an image from the G1…
Ah. The post appears each time, but I get an unpleasant Java error saying that the image wasn’t successfully uploaded.
That’s a bit annoying. Time to try the Postbot app next.
