WordPress Mobile
I have been reading peoples’ blogs at the train station and on the way to work through my iPhone. 90% of sites don’t have a mobile (cell phone) theme (including my own) and makes it extremely difficult to read. Imagine viewing the entire layout on the smallest screen ever! After I noticed that I went and downloaded a WordPress plugin that will make my site more mobile (cell phone) user friendly by using a simple & easy to read theme when viewed from a mobile (cell phone).
I urge you all WordPress users to install a mobile plugin. Just go to your “Plugins” -> “Add New” and search for “mobile”. There’s a few different mobile themes that you can install very easily. This will really help your readers to view your blog on their mobile phones easier. Even if you don’t have an iPhone etc you should still get it.
I have tried out the following and they all work pretty well:
- WordPress Mobile Edition <– recommended as it works across many mobile phones and the mobile theme is pretty nice
- WPtouch iPhone Theme <– personal favourite because the mobile theme looks awesome. However it only works for iPhoneTM, iPod touchTM, AndroidTM, or BlackBerry StormTM touch mobile device.
- WordPress Mobile Pack <– not the best theme but have many options. You can choose differnet themes for different mobile device.
This is what my sites looks like using the WPtouch iPhone Theme plugin on an iPhone/iTouch. Pretty easy to read huh?
That’s a neat plugin!
I would totally download if I had an iPhone or a smartphone.
I just have a regular plain-ol phone =/

You should still get it anyways, so people with smartphones can view your site easier on their phone.

That plug-in is really helpful! But I don’t like it much. The theme just makes me not want to read any blogs. :\ So, I stick with the plug-in deactivated on my blog. And hopefully, I would enjoy commenting/reading other blogs that doesn’t have that plug-in. Sorrys!

Ah! Well I’m glad the word “forum” caught your eye. Haha I’ll e-mail you the forum’s link because I just finished making icons for it. Godddddd that took forever. -_- Anyway Georgina hasn’t told me she’s ready to launch it yet so I don’t want to make it public until both of us are like, “YAYAYAYAY LETS DO IT” naw mean? hahaha well i hope you’ll be an active member!
Oh yeahhh! I gotta download that plugin so that people can view my site on their cell phones. hahaa although only a few do it’s really efficient!
Thanks for sharing with us those plugins, I’ll be sure to download your recommended one!

This is a great idea! I never really thought about people who read blogs on their phones, but now that you bring it up, I’m going to take a look at those plugins. Thanks for sharing!
