Yes there is a WordPress editor for the Nokia N800
I have a Nokia N800 but not a WordPress blog but if I did I’d be all over it if someone pointed out a WordPress blog editor for the little mobile device. Mobile maven Oliver Starr of BlogNation has indeed pointed out an editor for the N800, WordPy, which is designed to make it easy to make blog posts from the N800. According to Oliver WordPy will let you save posts for uploading at a later time meaning you’ll never lose another post in progress due to problems again. Oliver’s rating:
All in all, I give WordPy pretty high marks. It seems to do just about everything one would wish for on an ultra-ultra mobile device and with the small issue of finding the correct URL for set up it seems to have reasonably good usability, particularly for a 0.4 release of the software.
If you haven’t heard already good friend Marc Orchant recently left ZDNet blogs for BlogNation and with Marc and Oliver onboard I didn’t waste any time getting them into my feeds. I highly recommend you do the same.

No no no. I saw that a few weeks ago. You make it sound like it’s a sweet lil download away. Not so. It takes Python and similar contortions to make it work. Not worth it for non-haXXors.
James, thanks so much for the kind words. All the link love we can get is gratefully accepted and sincerely appreciated.
Mike, in the post to which James refers, I did mention that you have to have Python installed, this is also clearly indicated in the installation instructions to WordPy and in addition is linked directly from the WordPy page. Both Python and WordPy are “one click” installations meaning that complete installation of the WordPy application is between two and five total clicks; one to install Python, a second to click back to the Maemo page where you found WordPy, a third to install WordPy and maybe a forth to acknowledge the completed installation and a fifth to close the installer.
Perhaps there are one or two more odd clicks required but no hacking of any sort and not even any keystrokes until you go to set up your blog.
That said, the N800 is still a somewhat geeky device so most people that have it don’t mind an extra step or two to get a really valuable program up and running.
