WordPress announce Nokia compatibility as they pass 1m mobile users

Nothing irks journalism traditionalists more than the incarnation of the blog and the bloggers behind them.

Andrew Marr publicly described bloggers as “socially inadequate, pimpled, single, slightly seedy, bald, cauliflower-nosed young men sitting in their mother’s basements and ranting”.

Andrew Marr: Apparently not a fan of bloggers

But today a statement from leading blog-host WordPress quashed Marr’s visualisation of bloggers as basement dwelling losers, announcing that they now accommodate over one million mobile users: that’s people on the move, not underground, Andrew. The announcement came as WordPress confirmed that Nokia phones will now be able to avail of their mobile services, joining the likes of Blackberry, Android and Apple’s iPhone.
