Optimize your blog on mobile handsets with MobilePress
In the last times we saw an interesting diffusion of mobile handsets in the market, just think about the iPhone alone sold 4 million units in 200 days.
That’s why a lot of big sites such as Google and Facebook feature a mobile version.
What about a your blog?
MobilePress is a WordPress plugin that will render your WordPress blog on mobile handsets, with the ability to use customized themes.
The plugin also allows specific themes for specific devices / mobile browsers, such as iPhone, Opera Mini, Windows CE Mobile and other generic handset browsers.
The plugin also allows WordPress theme developers to create custom mobile themes for WordPress blogs using the MobilePress plugin.
Therefore, theme designers can create specific iPhone themes or generic themes.
Think of MobilePress as an enabler for WordPress on mobile.
I tried and I have to say I am very happy with it.
Look how the blog looks like on an iPhone (in this case, emulated on Safari for Windows)
and here it is a real world photo
I would like also you to notice the “View Full Version” link at the bottom of the page, as in most important iPhone enabled sites.
A must have… check the official page for more information

I got to know about this plugin few days back and I installed it on my blog. The plugin works great. Though the downside is due to adsense or any advertisement code , it make your blog look ugly in mobile. If you are not using any adsense code around your blog posts. This plugin will be very handy to get an extra edge from mobile internet users.

Very cool, I love browsing your site from my ipod.
Just how important is your mobile strategy for your blog or website today?
[...] Some of the blogs that I read on a daily basis have moved over to a default mobile version of their site but I just don’t like it. What I find is that I will scan through about 20 titles of blog posts before I find one that I want to read. It nearly feels like an RSS reader and I’m only ever going to read blog posts based on headlines which is always a good way to miss the really good content. I also can’t share content easily to Twitter which is something that I like to do and I generally don’t like the experience. If you want to learn more about optimizing your blog for mobile there are some good articles here, here, here , here and here. [...]
