There are two types of people in this world: people who use Wordpress and people who don’t. If you’re in the first group, you’re in luck. Andy Moore has released an updated Wordpress Mobile plugin that allows readers to visit your site on a mobile phone or device with reduced browser capabilities.
The plugin is quite well-constructed and immediately senses an incoming mobile phone browser and acts accordingly. After installing it onto CrunchGear, I was able to browse the site on an emulated Symbian device. Best of all, you can add AdMob ads into the site automatically. Andy even takes a cut for himself, thereby saving us all the travails of sending him a check for such great programming work.
Refactoring a web page for mobile browsing is hard. This plugin makes it amazingly easy.
I like the business model. It is hard to monetize a plugin, but this is a clever way to do it.
There’s alex king’s mobile plugin that is great also.
See http://pitsharing.com/2007/03/31/worpress-mobile/
I have traded Alex king’s plugin for this one now.
This looks good on a mobile screen. Btw, Mobilecrunch still reverts to full rendering on my E61.
This is cool. Hope this works on Wordpress 2.5 because other Wordpress mobile plugin have compatibility issues and search engine ranking issues.
Wow! Thank you! I always wanted to write in my blog something like that. Can I take part of your post to my site? Of course, I will add backlink?
Hi! Have you tried installing the Wapple Architect Mobile Plugin for Wordpress? http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wapple-architect/
It works for every single device, from a WML phone to a brand new swanky phone with XHTML. Images are dynamically resized and you get the option to really customize your blog any way you want.
In addition, you can upload mobile logos and style your site so the mobile version matches the website and you retain your brand identity. You also get control over your mobile SEO – more than other mobile plugins!
If you fancy giving it a go, the URL is http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wapple-architect/ – it’d be great to hear your feedback!
