How to make your blog mobile ready
After reading a few blogs regarding mobile accessibility I decided it would be a great idea to take the initiative and make sure my SEO and Marketing Blog could be visited by my friends using their cell phones. Now I don’t have a cell phone seeing I cannot justify the cost but some people and mainly my readers have a good reason for the extra expense.
So I found myself with overload of information plug ins and websites willing to help make my blog mobile ready. First I went with two suggested sites from a blogger Deneil Merritt. He suggested we try and implement both MoFuse and Mobify. This wasn’t at the same time but he started with MoFuse and then suggested Mobify.
Personally I didn’t like either of these suggestions. See the service offered was great and the product works so this wasn’t an issue with the suggestion I simply don’t like a lot of work. Sure I want my readers to have the best experience but I also don’t want to set up special server side information to allow my viewers to visit using their blog.
So I continued my search. I was desperately in need of something easy and beneficial for my readers. After much research I found a plug-in built for word press named The dotMobi wordpress plugin. After I uploaded it to my server and configured it I had to make sure my visitors would enjoy this functionality and have a positive experience visiting my blog.
Features:
- Theme Selection
- Plug ins
- Displayed Content
- Mobile Widgets
- Displayed Content
I started searching ways I could test the website even if it was using a cell phone emulation. I actually found 2 amazing sites I want to share with my readers. If you ever need to test your mobile ready blog I suggest the following.
After checking my blog and testing all the setting I managed to score a 4. I have managed to allow my cell phone mobile visitors to view my blog without costing an arm and a leg.
Any questions please don’t hesitate to ask!
Cheers,
Brian
The best thing about mobilizing is now you have a hand held blog in your pocket now. My I-phone picks up on it really cool.

I’m pretty happy with the result of that plug-in. My Friend David over at http://ferraridave.com told me it looked sweet in his iphone too. very clean and very readable. The size of the page is small as well helping with the data plan costs!

Hi bbrian017,
I am in the mobile casino games affiliate business for about 5 years now. So far, with the latest mobile technology developments it is a must to jump on the mobile internet market. However, there is a problem with different sizes of the smartphones and tablets screens. Trying to use lots of themes and plugins I am using now WPtouch and it works just perfect.
