mobilepressUsing mobile phones or even smart phones to surf the Web is a common sight on streets, restaurants or even in the toilet. As the number rises significantly, you should take into consideration that these mobile Web addicts will tend to visit your blog frequently and hence the mobile version of your blog must look prefect. If it looks awkward or you want a customized theme for the mobile version, then I’d suggest you trying out a Wordpress plugin called MobilePress.

Basically, what MobilePress does is that it renders your Wordpress blog on mobile handsets, even with the ability to use customized themes. According to the site, “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.”

To install this plugin is relatively simple if you use Wordpress frequently. Just like what you’ve done for your current plugins, download and upload the file to the directory and activate it under the “Plugins” menu in the sidebar of your dashboard.

So if you want to make your blog looks prefect in mobile version, then try using MobilePress.

    I though of using similar plugins but not yet finalized as my blog do not get much traffic. It will be of no use now. I may use similar plugins in 2-3 months.
