Let me set the scene, I had just updated to the new version of iOS 4.3 (Best feature is home sharing is now enabled on your iOS device), had to restore from backup, when I restored all my apps were no longer organised into folders. How annoying?

When managing y0ur Apps on the device, using the COMMAND + Click (Mac) or CTRL + Click (Win) you are able to select the grouping of multiple apps and drag them to a new group or page.

This is very handy from me as moving them 1 by 1 was getting a bit long. Is this a new feature or have I never found it because you can only select 1 app at a time to move on the iOS device, so I just naturally thought managing the device in iTunes would work the same way? Unsure but it does start me thinking about a new article to write.

I hope the above tips helps when managing your device.

Do you run a blog or use wordpress for your CMS? Do you have an iPhone, Blackberry, Android or some new Nokias?

If so then you should seriously look at getting the app for WordPress. Updating your wordpress site has just become easy and what’s more, if your out and about you have an idea fire up the app and post away. In fact I’m doing it now.

What I like most about this app is the 3 step set up process.

1: Login to your admin area and navigate to Settings > Writing and enable XML-RPC. (101 clients using the 101 All in one CMS solution, this is enabled by default.)
2: Download and install the WordPress app from your relevant app library.
3: Point the app at your WordPress install type in your details and post away.

From the app you can manage, comments, posts, pages, media and it even supports Geo-tagging. The published status is available for scheduled publishing, saving a local draft, or saving a draft to WordPress.

Couple of things so far:
No HTML view. Alot of the time our clients have problems with their content and it’s HTML related. This would not be a feature utilised by the majority, but on I thought would be great.

No access to the plugins, though again would a majority of users need it? All-in-one SEO is one plugin that I think would be great to have access to. Most of the others especially in the 101 CMS solution look after themselves.

No rich text editing or linking to other pages.

Permalinks don’t seem to be available which again is only minor as majority of our users set and forget, leaving the product to take care of them.

All in all this app is great for getting the content into the blog quickly and easily. Its quite purposely designed to not be everything for every one and stays true to the emphasis on simplicity, which is what lead 101 to use it to base our CMS solution on.

If you have all the ingredients I recommend trying it out for your self. You may just find your not tied to that desk any more. (at least for the simple things any way.)
