Going mobile

Published on 20th October 2009 Estimated Reading Time: 1 minute

Now that the mobile web is upon us, I have been wondering about making my various web presences more friendly for users of that platform, and my interest has been piqued especially by the recent addition of such capability to WordPress.com. With that in mind, I grabbed the WordPress Mobile Edition plugin and set it to work, both on this blog and my outdoors one. Well, the results certainly seem to gain a seal of approval from mobiReady so that's promising. While it comes with a version of the Carrington Mobile theme, you need to pop that into the themes directory on your web server yourself, as WordPress' plugin installation routines won't do that for you. It could be interesting to see how things go from here, and the idea of creating my own theme while using the plugin for redirection honours sounds like a way forward; I have found the place where I can make any changes as needed. Homemade variants of the methodology may find a use with my photo gallery and Textpattern sub-sites.
