    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:eek:

    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 ?

    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.:rolleyes:
