The folks behind the WordPress iPhone app deserve to be commended. They have created a simple and elegant tool that allows for posting to WordPress.com or standalone blogs. I used the app to write this post.

I’m a big fan of both Drupal and WordPress. So it was great to see via Weblog Tools Collection that a module has been developed to integrate WordPress into a Drupal install.
