Ramblings is Mobile

Good to Go!

Thanks to the WPTouch plugin by the guys at BraveNewCode (a couple of fellow Canucks) Ramblings is now mobile ready. If you’ve ever tried to read this site on your iPhone or BlackBerry then you will find the experience is much better now.

While I’m only experimenting with the free version (v1.9.20) right now, I am seriously considering upgrading to the Pro version. It allows several additional features (such as more themes and customization). I’m still playing with it, but so far it looks very promising.

I don’t have a smartphone myself (apparently I’m not smart enough 8=) but I’ve been testing it out using Safari in the iPhone mode and it looks pretty good. If you want to test the way this plugin works on your own site then you’ll need either the Apple Developer simulator or you can run Safari in iPhone compatibility mode (it’s under the Development menu option). Most simulators don’t trigger the plugin’s functionality because they appear as a regular browser.

I’ll have to check it out on Sweet Mama’s BlackBerry at some point.

If you have a chance to try it out on your mobile phone, let me know what you think.
