dadams.co.uk on the iPhone

Thanks go to Paul Mooney for discovering a useful WordPress plug-in. WPtouch adds a mobile theme to a WordPress blog – a theme that is optimised for the iPhone or iPod touch. So rather than trying to navigate around the plethora of interesting content on dadams.co.uk using the standard look and feel (which can be a challenge as there’s so much to enjoy), you get a simplified and easy-to-navigate interface. If you prefer the full dadams.co.uk experience you can switch back to it.

Got an iPhone? Give it a go.

WordPress for the iPhone and iPod touch

Normally I’d be writing blog posts on my iMac or ThinkPad upstairs, but as WordPress for the iPhone / iPod touch is now available I can now write blog posts and (if necessary) approve and reject comments from the comfort of the sofa or in the kitchen. It won’t make dadams.co.uk any more interesting, but it might make the blog posts a bit shorter.

WordPress for iPhone is basic but very easy to use. It’s free (which is nice) and can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store right now.

I’ve landed on Planet Lotus

Yancy Lent set up a web site named Planet Lotus which aggregates the feeds of various Lotus-related web sites into a single feed served up into the site’s home page – very cool. This isn’t new news to many people within the Lotus community, it’s just that my blog landed on Planet Lotus today.

The background is that we tried to add this site’s feed to Planet Lotus a few months ago but it didn’t work. This was very strange – not a WordPress problem as several WordPress-based sites worked. Yesterday Yancy had the idea of me registering dadams.co.uk on FeedBurner to pick up the RSS feed, and then Planet Lotus automatically picks up the feed from FeedBurner. And ‘hey presto’… I’m there.
