I remember, a few years ago, reading content by the prominent blogger and SEO expert about “mobile blogging”. He had a “blogging box” which allowed him to blog wherever he was (that i thought was obviously a bit stupid and pretentious). It included a digital camera, a laptop using a 3G modem, a notepad and pen, as well as other odds and ends. The whole lot almost fit in a suitcase.

Thankfully, important things have shifted a bit, and now we are in possession of WordPress apps for iPhone/iPad and Android. Both apps are compatible with an increase of or less recent versions of WordPress. That said, be sure you check which sort of WordPress you have to be running in order to access your dashboard via mobile.

Blogging vs Microblogging

Obviously, your main limitation when utilizing a mobile phone for blogging is the fact that things are a bit much more of a problem. You cannot type as fast, upload as numerous pictures, format at the same time, or do a few advanced things. That you can do almost anything you’ll need, yet it’s a bit more cumbersome.

That being said, the way in which forward is clearly microblogging. By microblogging I can’t mean a twitter-esque update. I recently mean a bare-bones post, with a picture plus some commentary that you considered as you were away from your laptop along with a wi-fi connection.

What this enables you to do, amongst other pursuits, is live-blog events and stuff that happen. Should you spot something exciting, you can have a photo or a video of it and hang it on your blog before you even return home. If you’re in the business of breaking news, this is invaluable.
