WordPress for Android

Yay! WordPress for Android app allows me to post from my Samsung Galaxy S phone any time, anywhere.

Galaxy S & Android & WordPress

The Galaxy S with its 4-inch Super AMOLED screen is already easier to read or type, when compared with my previous phones. And now with this app, I can write and post from bed, as I am doing now 🙂

Have not really tested all the features as yet. A cursory inspection revealed a built-in comment notification and approval function in the application. Everything seems intuitive enough.

Edit: For the purpose of this test, I edited this post from the desktop, after uploading it as draft from the phone. One can easily set categories and create tags too, after composing the post while mobile.  I inserted the pic and video from the PC but I am sure it can be done on the phone itself. I am feeling too sleepy to figure that out for now. Good night…

My New Boloka

I started blogging in 1998, during the days of the now defunct Geocities.  It was the days of 14Kbps!  Yeah. The speed of which my current Streamyx 4Mbps ‘broadband’ emulates ever so often.

The word Blog wasn’t even invented then. I moved my Dua Sen blog from within MyCen portal to its own domain and server at tvsmith.net.my in 2006.

Dua Sen Blog

I was saddled with a legacy problem. My entire blog was html-handcoded on a notepad, originally.  It worked fine but updating was a chore as I had to manually update the rss, related links, ftp and do a bunch of other stuff each time.

Here I am, twelve years on and succumbing to CMS and template blogging. I am also moving the photography blog over here. House warming soon and you are all invited. Boloka is Hokkien for Blog, by the way.
