So cool! There is a new Word press app for the iPhone that allows me to write or edit a posting to a WordPress blog. I am using it for this entry.
Too bad it does not yet support images from the iPhone camera

A friend showed me how to install some files on my own web server that can be used to do a speed test, which I have done. I have installed on my server so you can test it out. The image below is a screen shot of what it looks like when running. Click the link below to actually run the test.
The necessary files and instructions to setup this on your own server can be found at http://www.speedtest/mini.php. There are versions written in PHP, ASP.NET or ASP.
You can also test your speed at their main site by clicking the button below.
I have mostly relied on the tools offered in WordPress to create and edit my blog postings but I have always wanted more. Since I have Adobe Creative Suite 3, I also have a copy of Adobe Contribute, which allows you to do direct editing of websites and blogs. Although this software has some nice features, such as the ability to insert tables, I have found using it to be rather annoying. If I try to edit an existing post, all the paragraphs are run together. It just seems to do havoc to the html code in the existing post.
I did stumble upon a neat plugin for FireFox, called ScribeFox. By clicking on the icon in the tool bar, I get a split screen, with the upper part of the FireFox window showing the blog and the lower one where I can create or edit a post. See below for what the input screen looks like. I did find there were no easy tools for setting the image attributes, such as the size. This software may not have all the bells and wistles but it is an elegant and straightforward approach to creating and editing blog entires. Also when I go back and use the built in tools in WordPress, I don’t get a scrambled mess like I do with Adobe Contribute.
