I started a post with the new version of WP for iPhone yesterday with an image, but it didnt publish. Theres a known bug with images, and the post was shown with a little locked icon before it disappeared.

New year, new-ish version of WordPress (2.7) and I thought it was time to check out a new theme. This one is called “Amazing Grace” by Vladimir Prelovac and seems to work pretty nicely out of the box.

Purrrrrrrrrr… UPDATE: GRRR! Uploading a photo direct from my iPhone via the WP plugin strips out some but not all angle brackets, breaking the img tags.

Because I had a positive experience playing around with WordPress 2.5 on Rileycat’s blog, I asked David to go ahead and upgrade me here. Some of the new features replace various plugins I was using before (Image Manager, and ST Visualize Advanced Features ). I’ll be using a new plugin – my husband David wrote a simple one for converting WP tags to Technorati tags, so I’m going to give that one a whirl. Whee! I will say that I like one feature; the edit window has a visual editor tab and an HTML editor tab, and previously, it would…
