Enable a Mobile View of Wordpress

Posted on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 in HowTo, Information

Now that we moved to Wordpress, the first plug in I have added is called WPTouch.  The idea is to auto-format the site for mobile devices, and for me, the most imporant mobile device is the iPhone.

Brave New Code was started in 2007, and their main focus is a website design/development firm, but the seem to have a few goodiesunder GPL for folks like us, kudos to them.

The instructions on the site, are excellent, and installation is a snap.  The basic method is download the plug in, and place it in your plug-ins folder.  Now go to your Wordpress admin control panel, and activate the plug-in.  Installation is done, no kidding.

To try it out, you can use an iPhone and visit this blog, maybe your already doing that.  In a previous post I talked about setting Safari to pretend to be a iPhone, but since the old blog is gone, I may re-post it.  The next thing to do is configure it using the admin control panel that WPtouch installs for you, again the instructions on how to do this are excellent.

I hope you enjoy this is a simple way to ensure a great experience for your Wordpress users.
