More and more people are using their cell phones and smartphones to access the Internet these days. They’re watching YouTube videos, posting to their Twitter accounts, and keeping up with their RSS feeds. Is your blog properly equipped for the smaller screen?
One of the more useful plug-ins that you may want is called WordPress Mobile Edition. This plug-in serves two purposes. First, it detects the browser being used to access your website. Second, if it detects a mobile browser, it displays your blog using a mobile-friendly theme with minimal graphics and a simplified layout.
The idea is that WordPress Mobile Edition can provide a mobile-friendly interface for your blog “with progressive enhancement for advanced mobile browsers.” This should work not only for the iPhone, but also for BlackBerry devices, Nokia smartphones, and the like.
Go to Crowdfavorite.com for more information. The download link is located about halfway down that page.
