Feedburner, WordPress and Blogs

Running and maintaining a blog is a learning experience for me.

First thing I’m learning, there is no instant gratification.

Second, fortunately, there are tons of tools out there to help you.

I’ve just stumbled across a post at TD Creative, with regards to Feedburner.  It highlights some things that feedburner will do for you.

Highly recommended read, I’m looking into it at the moment.

iPhone interoperability

As a follow-up, it has been confirmed that the iPhone WordPress application on iTunes works very well (at least for me).

Flash and WordPress integrate easily

After a few quick tests, I was able to modify the actionscript libraries slightly to pull WordPress blog entries into a flash website.

Please check out this great article on xmlrpc and integrating flash with WordPress.

Final results will be posted soon.  My goal is to have the website react to live posts via wordpress, and leverage wordpress as a CMS “on the go” using the iphone WordPress application to post “Press Releases” on my website remotely.

Integrating wordpress, xml, and flash

I am experimenting on integrating the wordpress application with my flash front end, through the RSS XML conduit. 

I’ll post any results — of course if there are no results, you may not see anything at all!
