All About Iphone

Since this is a blog and a blog about iPhone, it stands to reckon that I would eventually try to write a blog entry on my iPhone. I was not sure how it would go and how well the latest revision of Wordpress would work. So I was in a parking lot away from home dutifully on the EDGE network when I decided to give it a go.

It was easy enough to log in to Word Press and choose “Write Post”. The problem came, however when entering my post. My Wordpress defaults to the visual editor, which is great when using my computer, but I soon found out that with the iPhone, at least on the edge network. Apparently it is redrawning the entire text box with every key stroke. This makes sense as it is a WYSIWYG editor. The problem on the iPhone is after pretty much every keystroke the focus flies all over the page and makes it virtually impossible to type anything in.

Fortunately I did not struggle with it for too long and I was able to switch to the Code setting and was good to go right away. I did not have any fancy formating, images or anything else, so it maybe a bit more of a challenge if you want to do anything beyond basic text. There is always old-fashioned HTML in the Code window. If anyone figures out how to overcome the issue in the Visual editor on the EDGE network please let me know. Otherwise it is completely possible and relatively easy to blog from the iPhone.
