I love my new iPhone 3G. I also really like Wordpress for blogging and content management. So when I heard about a new Wordpress for iPhone app, I quickly downloaded it and was about to do the obligatory “Here’s my first post with my iPhone” post here on dW31.com.

Its a great little app. It easily installs and, like most apps on the iPhone, its very intuitive and easy to use. The problem is I can’t get it to post to the blog. I either get a message about ill-formed XML or it says that the post-id is already taken. Well, its not. I’ve checked.

I have the required version of Wordpress. The support site does say that “Intermittent crashes when saving posts for some users” is a known issue. I can save a post just fine, its publishing that doesn’t work. I guess I’ll just keep trying…

Any suggestions?

UPDATE: I upgraded Wordpress from version 2.5.1 (the minimum required) to version 2.6 and it seems to be working. At least I was able to save a draft post and update this post with my iphone.
