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.

It should be easy to integrate Tumblr with Wordpress. Right? What I have in mind is something like what Alex King has done with Twitter Tools but for Tumblr. I’m posting this with Quick Post. It shouldn’t be too hard to add in access to the Tumblr API.
