My blog doesn’t deal heavily with images, hence I didn’t encounter this, but in instances when I did use the images, they were working as intended.
As I was scouring to the comments in the review area, I’ve encountered some problems that people have with images. Now I have to add a drawback, that might be important to some people. There is a Flickr integration, that made me particularly happy with it, as lately I’ve been using it lately quite often. Or a possible form of social media publishing automation. Basic promotion features of publishing your articles to locations like Facebook and Twitter would be neat, App.net would also be welcome.

Now let me guide you through the common features I regularly evaluate when reviewing apps, shall we? Functionality 4.5/5Īs you know I am a huge Markdown fan, and lack of Markdown support for WordPress left me with a tiny bit of a friction.
