Hi all, I have a successful fancy blog with a lot of widgets. However, I noticed lately that an increasing number of regular readers surf my blog from their mobile phone, they come with Blackberry, Iphone,etc.... this worry me I'm pondering the idea to develop a mobile friendly version of my blog with some wordpress plugin I found but strangely I dont see other bloggers doing that ?
You definitely need a Mobile friendly version when your traffic increases.... You can check this plug in for wordpress: http://wordpressmobile.mobi/
i have very low traffic, so i dont see the point in having a mobile version of my site at this moment
I do find myself more and more checking out a website via mobile and usually do opt for those with websites built for mobile. I think in the coming years this will be more and more needed as thousands more go to mobile net.
Going mobile is gaining in popularity and will continue. I think it's a must. Providing the mobile site may also help with traffic.
Ok, thank you, I will have to check that wordpress plug in. I also found Mofuse.com they have tools to create mobile version of blogs. oh, by the way, have a look at the web browser in the new Palm Pre, it is awesome !!
Developing a mobile version of your blog is a very good idea, but I would not concern over more people using mobile browsers... But rather, see it as an oppertunity to expand.
Having an iPhone version of your website is a fantastic idea. The iPhone now accounts for 66% of all mobile traffic as can be seen by doing a Google search for iphone 66% of all traffic Even in my own website I have it set up so that when people visit with the iPhone they get a totally customized experience. Get in touch if you need some help.
Low traffic might be just the reason to have a mobile version of your site. There may be lots of people you are missing. Just a thought.
