Testing out blogging from iPod Touch. Only good for twitter like/style posts. Especially, since there is no copy & paste function. Typing is a bit slow using touch screen interface, but tolerable.
I would probably use twitter and display the feed in my sidebar if this becomes something I start using more often.

I have been using WordPress for awhile with the K2 theme and I would say that these two together make a powerful combination that is easy to use. I have not had any real problems that I did not cause myself from experimenting. Of course everyone should BACK-UP their websites in case of problems.
The current version of WordPress is 2.3 and works great the K2 theme. I am currently using K2 revision 562. The most recent versions of K2 know give you that option to run WordPress widgets or K2 sidebar modules. Keeping up-to-date is easy with upgrade plugins. I use InstantUpgrade version 0.2 by Alex Günsche.

Anyone interested in starting blog should definitely consider WordPress with K2.
I noticed a serious issue with the Jaiku badge that requires shockwave-flash. If the browser does not have the proper plugin the page rendering becomes extremely random. My sidebar was everywhere except on the right side. I removed the Jaiku badge from the previous post due to this problem. If the browser does not have the correct plugin there should just be a blank spot asking for or stating condition of plugin needed. This should not confuse the format to the point of making an unreadable page.
My main computer is a Mac. My main browser currently is Safari. I also use Firefox 2.0.0.7 and Flock 0.9.1.3. Occasionally, I use Camino 1.5.1 or Shiira 2.2.
I know a simple cure for me would be to make sure any and all browsers I use have up-to-date plugins. But what about the rest of the world? Not everyone is on top of updating.
I am still using WordPress v2.2.1, although 2.2.2 is available. I upgraded the K2 theme to beta revision 377 and I have the Disable WordPress Widgets plugin activated. Everything seems to be working.
Since the sidebar modules are not working within the K2 theme using WordPress 2.2.1 I am just going to use the WordPress widgets for now. I hope a future SVN of K2 will fix this problem. I am currently sticking with K2 version 0.9.6.
Well, for now I have disabled the K2 theme due to more problems. The new problem happens when using K2′s sidebar modules. I can name and load different types but when I set advanced options, like page display options, ALL of the modules in the sidebar are renamed to the one currently adjusting. I am using the most recent stable version: 0.9.6. I have tried the most recent nightly SVN, r375, but this causes other problems. Actually, I think the other problems are related to V0.9.6.
The “disabled module” section does not work. I can not drag a module to the “disabled module” section to disable it. The module just snaps back to the sidebar.
After reading through the K2 support forums, I found my problem is common and could be related to the newest version of WordPress. Upgrading from 2.2 to 2.2.1 appears to be a key issue.
I caused some serious errors in my site due to screwing around with some WordPress plugins. All the data was backuped but I decided to start over. I may re-upload some of my recent posts.
I am still going to use WordPress, now version 2.2.1, with the excellent K2 theme. Current stable version: 0.9.6
