If you want to download your own blog data...

Maybe it's not really an iOS related question, but I wonder how to get from my wordpress page all posts like you do in the video. I installed JSON REST API, but I don't know what exactly should I do to have my posts in such form. Maybe small hint or even seperate short video how to do that? Thanks in advance

Sounds like what you need to do is look into the Wordpress API. The page with JSON for the app was set up specifically for that. On most sites, you're going to have to make a web request for the data and it will be in some kind of form (JSON, XML, whatever). This should get you started. http://developer.wordpress.com/docs/api/.
