Going Mobile is Easy

One of the good things about friends is that they push you. My friend, Scott,  recently pushed me into thinking about how WordPress sites looked on a mobile device, such as an iPhone or an iPod. So, a couple of days ago, we connected via Skype, and together we explored some of the options for making our WordPress sites look good on mobile devices.

The result was that we both installed the WordPress Mobile Pack plugin, and I must say that, as a first shot, I’m quite pleased with the results. What the plugin does is to detect what kind of browser the user is accessing your site with, and then display your site with its regular theme if the user is using a desktop PC or a mobile theme if they’re accessing it with a mobile device. It comes with some very basic mobile WP themes that you can use and modify.

So, if you have a smart phone or an iPod, take a look at the site. I’d be interested in what you think about how it looks and what changes I might make to make it even more readable.
