Mobility
Hmm. I'm posting this from an iPhone blogging client, BlogPress. It seems to be able to talk to my ageing MT installation, but not all the way. Categories don't work, for example, which given WT3's dependence on them for styling will almost certainly lead to grief. And there's no access to lots of other fields, so some tweaking through the web interface no doubt be required. On the other hand, there's no denying that typing this content is much easier here than in Safari, so it may still be worthwhile.
The other app I've looked at, iBlogger (or possibly Blog with iBlogger) doesn't seem to be able to talk to WT at all, despite ostensible Movable Type support, but this might be a versioning problem. I suppose it really is time I bit the bullet and upgraded to MT4...
Anyway, my hope is that making it easier to blog from the phone might encourage me to do it a bit more. Anything is possible. Watch this space for updates -- but don't hold your breath...
Update: well, that was indeed a teensy bit of a mess, but not too awful to fix. Let's see how we go.
