Windows Phone Starter Kit for WordPress

This is a little something for bloggers and web developers who use WordPress as a CMS. Should you not have the necessary knowledge and experience to confidently develop an app to compliment your website, fear not as help is at hand with the Windows Phone Starter Kit for WordPress.

It's a simple package that includes a skeleton app, which only requires you to alter one line of code and insert the blog URL, and a plugin .zip that is to be uploaded and installed on the website. Full instructions located below:

App:

  1. Open the MainPage.xaml.cs file in Visual Studio
  2. Update the siteURL parameter to the location of your WordPress blog

WordPress:

  1. Log into your WordPress blog using an account that has administrative access
  2. Click on the "Plugins" link from the navigation bar on the Dashboard
  3. Click on the "Add New" button on the Plugins page
  4. Select the "Upload" link from those choices presented on the Plugins page
  5. Click the browse button and navigate to the location of the WPSKPlugin.zip (usually \WordPressPlugin\WPSKPlugin.zip
  6. Click the "Install Now" button to perform the upload.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but these "apps" that repackage and present blog content are just lame, especially when all you really need is a decent mobile stylesheet. I mean, what does an app version really add in terms of functionality? Those I've tried typically just show a lead-in for each post. If you want to read the whole thing, then it links you out to the website. Wow, thanks a heap. It usually also jacks up the layout for all but the simplest posts. Live Tile support...can't you just pin a favorite website to the Start screen?Worst of all, this just floods the Marketplace with a bunch of junk apps. Just my 2¢.
