Blogging through Posterous

by Kingsley on March 24, 2011

Even with the major update to iBlogger for the iPhone, the archaic interface is left intact and leaves much to be desired. When it comes to simplicity blogging on the go, nothing comes close to Posterous. And the best part is Posterous lets you post to anywhere, including to my WordPress blog.

WordPress 2.7

by Kingsley on December 19, 2008

Just updated my WP blog to 2.7. The update took only minutes via DreamHost’s One-Click Installs, and the result is visually stunning. Everything in the Dashboard is clear and invites exploring. Things can be moved around, shown or hidden. Its manageable surface hides the complexity of the database. In fact, it looks so good, I might want to start using it to write my blog entries, rather than using a desktop client. It definitely looks better than ecto, which I just bought a copy yesterday. I am glad I decided to use separate blogging platforms–WordPress and Movable Type–for my two blogs. They teach me their differences and similarities, their strengths and the weaknesses, their pros and cons. It forces me to learn beneath the surface, and that’s always a good thing.

Moleskine theme

by Kingsley on October 24, 2008

I’m a fan of Moleskine for my personal journaling, as I’ve been for over 3 years. Today, I stumbled upon a WordPress theme of the same name, with the look and feel of the pulp original. It excited me enough to want to finally learn how to add themes to my WordPress blog. It was easier than I thought. I just had to download the theme, unzip it, fire up FTP, navigate to directory “wp-content -> themes” and throw the “ubmoleskine” folder inside. Then I threw the other files in the plugins folder inside the “wp-content -> plugins” directory. After that, the Moleskine theme showed up in my themes’ directory where I can select it.

What I really like about this theme is that it’s very readable on the iPhone.

Blogging with iBlogger

by Kingsley on September 26, 2008

I just bought the app for my iPhone. It works with both WordPress and Movable Type, so I can use it for my personal and not-so personal blog. I was using the free WordPress app and Movable Type plugin (iMT) before, but iBlogger has basic functions like inline pictures and hyperlinking that the other apps lack. And because the developer is extremely responsive, I suspect the app will be updated and improved over time.
