Finally got the beta WordPress for Blackberry<\/a> program installed on my Curve and tested it on a couple of<\/a> posts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the plus side, this is a very sweet little program. It basically provides access to post and comment capabilities in my WordPress blogs. It makes it easy to create new posts, including photos on my Blackberry. I can also see all comments on the blog, manage them (hold, approve, flag as spam) and reply to them. Once installed it functioned quite well.<\/p>\n

The program isn’t perfect, though. Though it can draw on photos stored in the Blackberry (including the SD card), it simply lists them by filename; I have to go into the camera app and see which photo I want to choose. (There’s no option in the camera app to send the item to the WP app, either.) This makes sending a photo to the blog through this tool more than a bit cumbersome. Also, photo formatting is limited; it can be reduced on the fly to 640×480, but not any smaller than that (which is desirable both for my blog and for the camera phone quality), nor any other templating. So rather than a more reasonably-sized photo of the tea party, let alone something with the drop shadow (which I can do if I send something via Flickr), I get a great big pic.<\/p>\n

Still, it’s nice to have an alternative, esp. as Flickr’s interface has been less than reliable. And it’s good that I can post something longer (typed by thumbs) if I need to while away from my computer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
