Nokia WordPress App

Chris — Thu, 27 May 2010 20:46:53 +0000

I’ve just discovered an app to manage my WordPress blogs from my mobile. As I have yet to succumb to the marketing ploys of Apple and HTC etc., I have been required to do a bit of searching for a tool for my Nokia 5800 xpressmusic.

If this sounds interesting to you as well, visit http://nokia.wordpress.org

BTW, this is my first post using that very tool.

The Wonder of WordPress

I must admit to being a big fan of WordPress. It was initially developed to enable bloggers to get their words and thoughts online quickly and easily. However, over the years it’s uses have diversified (witness these seven weird uses for example), and can now be thought of as a fully featured CMS (content management system) in it’s own right.

Now I confess that I’m not much of a blogger but seeing as how this site has been built using WordPress (which has the added bonus of being free and open-source software), I felt that the first post should be dedicated to it.

New (old) Blog

Thanks to a fine tutorial on how to integrate WordPress in an existing site, I have started this new blog. I”ll be talking about some of my IT issues with a view to helping others deal with similar situations. I hope you find it useful.

If you’re mystified by the above link, it might help to know that I have coded most of this site myself using a combination of html, css and a wee bit of php. The tutorial provides a method for incorporating a WordPress blog into this (relatively) simple site.

Update 16 July 2009 – Have now made a WordPress template which does the same job as the html did!
