I’ve been a huge fan of the WordPress for iPhone app ever since it debuted many months back. While the old webapps — for iPhone and other phones — made mobile blogging feasible, if a bit of a chore, the native iPhone app made it incredibly easy to post photos and other contents quick and easy.

The latest update to the app, v 1.2 includes a ton of new features, which make it even more user friendly. Here’s a quick overview, via WordPress.tv

As the video explains, here are some of the great new features:

• Landscape mode with extra wide keyboard

• Link creation help (as soon as you start typing www or http, the app will help you create a hyperlink on the fly)

• Comment moderation

• Photo resizing options

In order to enable mobile blogging from your iPhone, you’ll need to enable “Remote Publishing” on your blog. To do this, go to SETTINGS –> WRITING and check off the options under Remote Publishing, then click “Save Changes.”

And, of course, you’ll need to go to the iPhone App Store to download the application. It’s completely free.
