The superbly well-tuned Android WordPress app has been updated to version 1.2 today, bringing with it two (2) new features – the ability to upload videos direct from your phone to your blog, plus geotagging support should you be running a compatible geo plugin on your WordPress installation.
Here’s the full Android WordPress 1.2 changelist, taken from the WordPress blog announcement:
- Video upload and video sharing to a new WordPress post. If you have a WordPress.com blog, video upload works great with VideoPress. If you have a self-hosted WordPress blog, you may need to install the PJW Mime Config plugin to allow the 3gp video files to be uploaded to your blog.
- Post geotagging support (enable geotagging first in the blog settings window). If you are running a self-hosted blog, install the geolocation plugin to show your location.
- HTC Tattoo Android Market fix.
And here’s a picture of that new video upload option. It is not the most exciting picture we’ve ever uploaded to the internet, to say the least:
On a WordPress-related side note, does anyone have any recommendations for forums that are easy to integrate with WordPress? It’s about time we got one on the go.
