Introducing the first Open Source app that lets you write posts, upload photos, and edit your WordPress blog directly from your iPhone or iPod Touch. With support for both WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress (2.5.1 or higher), users of all experience levels can get going in just seconds.

not in the uk store yet !
I downloaded this today. It's full of potential, but I don't know how much I'd use it in it's current state.
Things I'd like to see in future versions;
1. More of the dashboard, including incoming links, recent comments, and comments awaiting approval.
2. A way to pull pics from flickr or be able to post to flickr and have your blog link the flickr image at the same time.
3. The ability to sign in to more than one blog. I have 5 wordpress blogs (2 that I switch between often).
People always want “more” from mobile apps. But to be honest, I think that's the wrong approach. You only have a tiny interface space in mobile screens (even on the iPhone), and the more features you try to cram in their, the more of a mess you'll get. Small apps, with simple to use features, are the way to go – use the browser for anything else.
Great news, just downloaded it. Now I can blog the constant skeptic from my iphone
I'm surprised it wasn't out earlier. Its a much needed app for all the bloggers out there.
Kind of useless for those of us who use Wordpress software but host our own blogs…
As usual, I spoke too early… It does support multiple blogs.
Ian, I get what you are saying, but let me explain myself a little more. I see several comments a day, a few of them need moderation, but I don't like to wait till I get home. On the other hand, I only blog a few times a week, and probably won't ever be doing it from my iPhone. So having easy access to comments while I'm on the go would be awesome!
Al, it's not useless. I host all of my wordpress blogs on my own server and the program seems to work fine for me.
This is going to come in VERY useful for wordpress bloggers, I can't wait to get my iPhone as this is one of the first apps I'd get.
