Hey all!
I had a personality that wanted to use the Wordpress app for iPhone and was getting errors trying to verify his blog. It’s as simple as enabling one setting for remote publishing, but by default it is off.
As an admin, log into Wordpress (note: since we use Wordpress MU, you’ll have to enable this on each instance of your blogs) then fly open ‘Settings’ and click ‘Writing’ in the drop down.
Under ‘Remote Publishing’ enable XML-RPC and save your settings. This publishing protocol will work dandy with the iPhone Wordpress app, making it even easier for your personalities to keep up-to-date content on the move.
I’m working on a project in market with Tony Senes and some of the ITM folks to get some semblance of an ‘SLTS’ type video platform up and running for Mother’s Day. After a conference call with Amy and the guys we figured the easiest way was for me to design a phase 1 wireframe and send it along for feedback.
Trying to get it done quick and make it shareable was a goal, so the next day I used Mockingbird to get it done. It’s free, fast and light. Just sending a link instead of bloating people’s inboxes is a treat; peep the wireframe here.
Lastly, a friend of mine over at Sproutbox just launched Proposable with his company, a web application for moving sales proposals in the right direction (real-time selling).
Knowing that proposals aren’t the easiest thing to create and manage, Proposable opts to solve that problem with an interface far superior to that of other similiar sites salesproposals.com, et al.).
Cheers!

Hey Mat, great information! I have used Omnigraffle for wireframing before, but haven’t heard of Mockingbird. Although Omnigraffle requires purchase of a license and is Mac-only, it does have a bunch of free stencil libraries available, such as the Yahoo! Design Stencils and the Konigi stencils.
Also, a friend of mine told me about a tool called FlairBuilder that lets you add interactivity to your wireframes. It runs on the Adobe AIR framework, so is cross-platform compatible once you install AIR.
Mockingbird has the advantage over both of those of being free, though! Thanks for passing this along!

Hey man I’m a proponent of web-freeloading
I wonder if Flair is a solid mix of the words Flex & Air?
