BlogWriter Lite is a free app for the iPhone and iPod touch. BlogWriter is a free and easy to use app which is ideally suited for casual bloggers. Setting up a blog is easy and it comes with presets for blogger and wordpress.com blogs. Although not feature filled it gets the job done quickly and easily. Photographers will be disappointed to learn that it does not support sending images to your blog from your iPhone (the full version however can). It comes with a built in rss reader which you can use to subscribe to your favourite blogs. The only thing that I did not like about it was that you cannot turn your iPhone to the side to have the widescreen keyboard, this I feel is a serious design flaw as the app is intended for people who write a lot. Check out my post with it here.

MobilePress is a WordPress plugin that will render your WordPress blog on mobile handsets, with the ability to use customized themes. The plugin also allows specific themes for specific devices / mobile browsers, such as iPhone, Opera Mini, Windows CE Mobile and other generic handset browsers.

MobilePress is frankly awesome, it turns your wordpress blog into a moblog quickly and easily. Is this enough for the amazing team at MobilePress? Nope, they also let you create custom themes for mobile users. They then let you set themes for different handsets and browsers. For example; you use the iPhone and you go to your blog and see a nice iPhone style list which fits in perfectly with the iPhone software, your friend then goes to your blog on his Motorola N95 and sees a different theme that fits well with the native browser. It is this functionality that many users could not live without.

MobilePress also SEOs your blog. When the Google or [insert inferior search engine here] mobile bot crawls your site it will see the mobile version, this gives you a better score on Google making your site come up higher on Google Mobile searches.
