Its about time! The creators of WordPress, Automattic, have released a public beta of WordPress for BlackBerry. Both James and Luis sent me links within seconds of each other so I guess word is spreading like wildfire!

It looks like the app will let you upload audio and pictures along with text but I have not had time to fully check it out.

This is a great find!
I’m having trouble logging in no matter what I try.
I’ve tried everything: checked and unchecked the connection options, put the site URL and the admin URL directly, battery pull, etc.
I keep getting the message Bad URL, Username or Password!
Any thoughts?

I have tested it on my personal blog, nathanfilz.com as well as BerryReview.com and it has been amazing. Great UI and features too!
The only thing that I have not been able to do is add links… This is a huge killer for me, but I am guessing that there is a way to do this.
If anyone figures it out or has a way to do this, please let me know>

@Nate — start typing in “http” and the link helper will pop-up.
