One of the best ways to keep your blog updated is through the use of smart phone technologies like the iPhone and iPad. iPhones are available with some of the best SIM only plans – or contract plans – that provide users with a variety of features such as free or unlimited text messaging, calls and Internet browsing. Unlimited Internet browsing is an especially useful resource for bloggers who must frequently visit their site to moderate comments, add content and update postings. If you’re a blogger who is using one of the best SIM only plans with your iPhone, be sure to download one of our top 3 iPhone apps for bloggers.

WordPress

WordPress is one of the most popular and longstanding blogging platforms on the web and is used by millions of bloggers worldwide. WordPress allows its users to easily create and manage a blog with just a few simple clicks. Now, WordPress is making managing a blog even easier with its WordPress app for iPhone.

The app also permits bloggers to add photos from an existing posting or from their iPhone photo library. One of the app’s best features is that it provides instant notifications to let bloggers know when someone has commented or responded to a recent posting.

The WordPress app runs on iPhones (iOS 3.1.3 or later) and allows bloggers to modify and update any WordPress blog running on WordPress 2.9.2 or higher. Bloggers can download the WordPress app from iTunes for free.

In that note, that sorting is good, Google has went on and added the ability to ‘sort by subject’ when doing image searches. Available in the left side column, under ‘Sort by relevance’, sorting by subject will split the results page in multiple lines, each one focusing on a specific item. Take the image below, the search was for ‘london’, so the subject-sorted results depict the major landmark found in the UK capital.]

Google Images added sort by subject option

“Sorting by subject uses algorithms that identify relationships among images found on the web and presents those images in visual groups, expanding on the technology developed for Google Similar Images and Google Image Swirl,” said Donald Tanguay of the Google Images team. “By looking at multiple sources of similarities, such as pixel values and semantic relationships, and by mining massive amounts of data, we can make meaningful connections and groupings among images.”

Sort by subject is already rolling out and should be available globally within a week or so.
