WordPress With Your BlackBerry
July 17, 2009 by CoreyO
If you are one of those who just can’t find that one thing to serve as the deciding factor for choosing a particular smart-phone, this may be the stone that tips your scale. The folks at Wordpress are hard at work on an open source Wordpress for Blackberry app. This addition will make blogging on the bus a heck of a lot easier. You won’t be restricted to just making posts, apparently you’ll be able to make as many changes on your CrackBerry as your main blogging machine. As of this post, Beta 0.9.0.129 is the latest release but that will quickly change before you can drag your eyes across this post.
There are a few things that should be known before bloggers try out the beta Version:
- First thing, since this is beta and even though they tested this a gazilion times, they still suggest you use a test blog or a blog you don’t care much about. You’d hate to be the one whose high traffic blog is sacrificed for the revelation of some bug.
- This App supports WordPress.com and hosted WordPress versions 2.51 and newer.
- Newer BlackBerry devices are compatible, such as Bold, Curve, Pearl, 8700
- OS requirements are OS 4.2.1 or newer
- XML-RPC needs to be enabled for self-hosted Wordpress sites
To download, you can point your BlackBerry to this link, http://blackberry.wordpress.org/install, and follow the directions.

Ok, this seals the deal. I want a Blackberry! Now the question is, do I get the Tour or the Bold? The Storm is NOT an option!
