  WordPress and its ipad app

  These comments must be taken in the context on a new user of both the ipad and WordPress so my gripes might have simple solutions hence this post.

  Regrettably I think an ipad is not the appropriate tool to be using to post wordpress blogs (or to use whilst travelling and taking pictures)

  The WordPress app does not have the functionality of the real version. It is an incomplete attempt to adapt to ipad. I am really disappointed because I really like wordpress and was looking forward to putting it through its paces.

  The ‘wusiwug’ feature does not exist, nor do most other features. You have to enter text in as HTML. SO YOU MUST HAVE SOME UNDERSTANDING OF HTML.

  It is virtually impossible to reference the picture you might be talking about. (constant return to iphoto is required)
  It is impossible to order your pictures once loaded.
  Pictures are very difficult to select as the thumbs presented are so small that detail is not visible and it is easy to select the wrong picture. The name/number of the jpg is changed when loading, adding to the difficulty.
  Inserting photos is laborious and time consuming because the method is not streamlined, you need to do about half a dozen inputs to load each picture. You need to navigate the whole event, which could be 200-300 picture (if you have had a good snapping day), for each insert.
  Picture order will be changed if reloading is required as a result of incomplete loading when selected.
  When ‘bolding’ in a ‘page’, require to manually add the HTHL tag to both ends of the highlighted text. In a post need to put it inbetween.

  I am really not a cross old man, just a bit frustrated.
  Kind regard, David

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
