WordPress App Updated With Holo UI, A Few New Features

Posted by in Applications, News

WordPress is a clutch tool for most bloggers, as its easy-to-use, versatile interface provides essentially everything one needs to get content on the internet. For the longest time, however, the associated app hasn't been the greatest thing to use (read: it kinda sucked); today, however, it has been updated to v2.3 which brings a new Holo UI, along with a few new features.

What's in this version:

It's the big UI update!
* Action Bar added for easy access to common actions.
* Use the Menu Drawer to quickly navigate to other areas of the app. Just tap the arrow in the Action Bar or swipe to reveal the menu.

WordPress For Android Gets A Small Update, Now Supports Featured Images And Has A New Stats View

Posted by in Applications, News

Good news for you independent bloggers out there! WordPress just issued a small update to its mobile app. The biggest change is that you can now add featured images to a post. Featured images, of course, are treated differently in WordPress entries than in-line images and are often used as thumbnails, so it's been a bit of a problem that the app hasn't made it easy to add them until now.

Here's the full changelog:

What's new in version 2.2:
- Featured image support
- New stats view
- Performance and reliability improvements

Unfortunately, WordPress doesn't get updated quite as much as one would like.

WordPress For Android Gets Updated To Version 2.0 – Adds Full Support For Tablets, Rich Text Formatting, And More

Posted by in Applications, News

WordPress for Android was updated to version 2.0 earlier today, making on-the-fly blogging easier than ever. The update brings several new features, including a Dashboard and Quick Action Bar giving "one-tap access to everything you want to do with your blog." Additionally, the update offers an all new post editor, which comes with a sophisticated rich text formatting bar and "enhanced" media features.

The update also brings full support for Android tablets, which is huge, particularly for those users with a handy Bluetooth keyboard. Personally, I wouldn't think of blogging from a phone, but the screen real estate offered by a tablet seems much more reasonable.
