WordPress for Windows Phone 7 Now in the Marketplace

Recently, a new application was made available for handsets running under Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 operating system, namely WordPress for Windows Phone 7, which is already live in the Marketplace.

The release of this software solution was planned ever since Microsoft has brought the platform to shelves, it seems, and now those own a device running under Windows Phone 7 and would like to manage their blogs while on the go can easily do so.

“Ever since Windows Phone 7 was announced we’ve been very much looking forward to creating a new WordPress app specifically for the platform. Today the first version of that app went live on the Windows Marketplace,” WordPress notes on its blog.

“It’s a partnership between iSoftStone, Microsoft and us that’s made this possible, however we hope to get the help of the Open Source community to help the app get even better in the future,” the company continues.

Those who will download and install the application would enjoy the same Windows Phone 7 experience as the platform itself offers, including a Panorama view for managing the blog, or an Actions dashboard so that all controls are accessible nice and easily.

With this app, users can edit pages and post in a simple manner. Moreover, they will also have the possibility to quickly moderate comments, or check statistics.

“The app itself follows the Windows Phone 7 guidelines in many ways, it uses a Panorama view to let you easily manage your blog/website, but also has an Actions dashboard that quickly lets you get to what you need to do,” the company notes.

“It’s all about keeping it simple and functional. There’s something magical about the stylish typography combined with simple and easy-to-understand icons. All accompanied by well known WordPress colors and styles.”

Those who would like to try out WordPress for Windows Phone 7 should head over to the Marketplace to download it.
