How to make your wordpress blog iPhone and iPod touch friendly
Posted by: | CommentsI’ve been an iPhone owner now for almost 4 weeks. One of the things I really love is when I visit a website and they have an iPhone friendly version of the site. It makes the experience of visiting that site so much better.
I was delighted when I discovered an extremely handy plugin for WordPress that gives iPhone and iPod touch visitors a version of your blog tailored for their device.
The plugin is called WPTouch and it’s by Bravenewcode. Like any other plugin, it was just a matter of uploading it to the plugin directory and then enabling it. You can see the result below. On the left hand side is what le craic looks like on the iPhone. On the right is what it looks like with the plugin enabled.
The iPhone enabled version of the blog makes viewing and replying to comments a lot easier too. Anyone visiting le craic from a standard browser will always see the standard view.
It’s just one of the sweetest plugins I’ve come across and if you have your own hosted WordPress blog I don’t know of any reason why you shouldn’t give it a go yourself.
WordPress for the iPhone
Posted by: | CommentsIt’s here – the ability to post to a WordPress blog from an iPhone using a dedicated application.
I’m actually posting this from one right now, isn’t that just the dandiest? You’ll never actually know if I am posting this from the iPhone though. Maybe posting anything of substance on a small touchscreen is too much bother. Being the king of the lengthy blog post, I can hear your thoughts already – that it will cramp my style 
Truth be told, it’s a handy little addition to the device. It does exactly what it’s meant to do, all within the svelte surroundings of the must have toy for boys and girls everywhere.
I’d like to see some capability to moderate and reply to blog comments. No plans for this that I have seen though.
Download the application from the App store or just go to http://iphone.wordress.org.

Decided to set up a twitter account today and also installed a url shortening service so I don’t have to use a 3rd party service.
Will see how it goes.
That’s not a commenting system… this is a commenting system

Mobile Barcode craze
Posted by: | CommentsPreviously on le craic….
Back in April I mentioned an application you can put on your mobile phone that reads special barcodes. Apparantly they are all the rage in Japan.
People are putting them on headstones, t-shirts and in Italy a newspaper is using them too.
Don’t know if it will catch on here, but I think it could be put to good use but only if a barcode reader is installed on phones here as standard.
