  • WordPress App -Mobile Blogging

    This is my first post using the WordPress app that I installed on my iPhone ages ago and have not used.

    Or rather, I recall that WordPress made the app for mobile blogging but it had some bugs.

    The version I have installed is a later version but I did not keep up with the info on whether this latest version of the app is bug-free.

    I couldn’t see a way to add images while I was typing but as soon as I tapped ‘Done’ I could see various options, which I will try now.

    By the way, the image is a quick grab with my iPhone camera of a couple of the postcards I have stuck on the wall, and a poppy from Remembrance Sunday last year.

    Update
    I published this short article and then saw that the image was over to the left.

    Looking at the code here in the app I could see that the setting was alignnone.

    I changed this to aligncenter and updated and it worked OK.

    The update published very quickly, which is good.

    Publishing is a bit fiddly but I was able to add in a non-breaking-space before and after the image and to make the subheading bold.

    I can see that with a bit of practice this could work!

    Second Update
    The WordPress app is said to work with WordPress self-hosted blogs. I tried to get it to work with a couple of my self-hosted blogs but as you will see for yourself if you look at the WordPress forums, the app is failing miserably on self-hosted blogs with many people unable to authenticate their username and password despite having everything set up correctly.

    I had the same problem just now. Something that Automattic, the owners of WordPress, needs to work on.

  • Duck And Drake Public House

    This public house is in the center of Leeds near the bus station, the Parish church, and the central market. It is in an area that has been hanging on and on and on.

    I imagine it will be long before the area is redeveloped. But first there is another development planned for the other side of the market. It is a huge development and I think that if it goes ahead it will change the character of this part of Leeds which has been struggling for years.
