We recently held a contest, working with the folks at Netroots Nation, and awarded three CREDO BlackBerry Curve smartphones and 12 months unlimited service from CREDO Mobile to three outstanding progressive bloggers. The awards were given out at the 2009 Netroots Nation Conference and the winners in each category were:
- Leo Gerard “Best National Blogger”
- David Dayen “Best State/Local Blogger”
- Kerry Trueman “Blog Activist of the Year”
Congrats again to the winners! If you’re thinking about starting your own progressive blog – or want to be able to update your existing blog easily from your BlackBerry smartphone – there is a new Beta version of WordPress specifically built for your BlackBerry. WordPress is one of many free blog hosting and publishing platforms available on the web and is used by both novice and professional bloggers alike.
If you already have a WordPress blog (if you don’t, you can go to www.wordpress.org to start one) you can get the mobile app for easy mobile updating by going to http://wordpress.blackberry.org/install and downloading the beta version of this app to your BlackBerry. After the download is complete, go ahead and run the application – starting with entering in your blog’s URL then entering in your existing WordPress username and password.
