WordPress goes mobile

BlackBerry users can now edit their WordPress blogs through a new application created for the mobile device.

It has been revealed that open source software, which was designed in collaboration with Danais, has been created for use with the custom web hosting service.

The platform can be used in conjunction with either WordPress.com or the self-hosted WordPress version 2.5.1 or newer, while it can function with BlackBerry models including the 8700, Pearl and Storm.

However, the creators have warned that the software is at the public beta stage, which means there are still potential bugs on the program that may need to ironed out in the future.

The application could be useful to a number of firms, as recent figures from Write My Site found that over 70 per cent of small firms claim they do not have time to keep their blogs fully updated.
