Blogging on the iPhone
Blogging on the move
Since I purchased my iPhone I’ve been amazed by the number of features it has. The iPhone is a blogger’s dream. The gadget makes my blogging experience enjoyable and more flexible without the need of being glued to a computer screen.
Mobile technology allows me to create new posts whilst on the move. As a creative designer, thousands of thoughts will pass me everyday, so I find the iPhone a get way to capture those ideas.
Some of the great features the iPhone includes:
- WordPress for iPhone
- Skype
- YouTube
- Internet access
- iTunes
- Email access
- Plus many more applications that can be downloaded on the App store
Features I love on the iPhone
WordPress for iPhone
The WordPress for iPhone plugin allows you to access the admin panel of your blog, regardless if you are self-hosted or running a blog from wordpress.com. The interface is simple and easy to use, plus offering options to upload photos directly from your iPhone to your Wordpress blog.
Social media on the iPhone
The iPhone provides downloadable applications to many of the top social media sites: including Facebook and Twitter. Whilst on the move, I can access my favourite sites and notify my audience about updates to the atmmultimedia blog. t;/p>
iTunes
The iPhone allows you to download your favourite podcasts directly on to your iPhone. Podcasts are a great way to educate yourself whilst on the move. I have learnt so much for podcasting as a mobile resource you listen to podcasts whilst in the gym or on a running session. A majority of people prefer listening to audio than reading from a blog, because whilst listening to a podcast you can multi-task and do other things.
Is your WordPress blog iPhone friendly?
Making your WordPress blog iPhone friendly is easy with the iWPhone WordPress Plugin and Theme. The plugin will allow users to view your WordPress blog via the iPhone’s web browser. This makes web browsing so much easier and reliable for the iPhone user. The iPhone is one of the must have gadgets on the market today. It would be a mistake to alienate a section of your target audience.
The atmmultimedia blog is iPhone friendly.
Do you have an iPhone? How do you use your iPhone? Is the iPhone an irreplaceable piece of technology for you? Please place a comment. I’d love to hear your answers.

Damn James! Does that mean that I need to buy a iPhone?
Seriously, I like the convenience of using those types of PDA phones, I just got a E71 a few months ago and I’m very pleased the ability to surf internet, check emails etc… but if people know the average length of my articles… that’s not something I’m going to do on a phone.
But that said, I have to admit that those connectivity features are always useless… until the moment you need them :)

Hi Nicolas,
Ha ha, no you don’t need to buy an iPhone this is an option if you are a blogger, but it maybe a good idea to install the iPhone plugin for your blog.
It gives your target audience more options.

Hi James, things are getting quite well so far, making me very very busy! my Alexa 1 week is now 98,693 and I’m having quite some requests of Guest posting to fulfill.
The ebook is bringing about a dozen new leads daily so far.
And as you already know, I’m working on a forum idea too.
What about you? I noticed that you blogged a bit less this week.

Hi Nicolas,
This has been a little quiet on the blog posts, due to good reason. I’ve been working on some great content to be launched shortly.
My presence has been made on several other blogs, but now is the time to turn the atmmultimedia to it’s fullest and you’ll see this in May. Stayed tuned.
Wow Alexa rank in the top 100k very impressive. are you working full time on your blog? I am only part-time as I have a full-time job in web design.
My Alexa rank has improved over the past few weeks, it was 1 million a few weeks ago now this week it is: 789,800. As they say slow and steady win the race.
Seriously, in May there will be some great interviews from bloggers and some multimedia included on this blog.
That will I announce publicly very shortly.
Keep in touch.
