TechDiY.net

An iPhone friendly blog

TechDiY.net is now proud to be an iPhone / PDA / application browser friendly blog!  So maybe it’s the fact that I just got a shiny new iPhone that made me want to do this.  I’ll be honest; if I never would have tried browsing my own site with a mobile device, I probably would have never even bothered doing this.  I’ll bet I am not the only site admin out there that is in the same boat.

If you have a WordPress blog, you are in luck!  Imthiaz Rafiq (check out his home page here) has done a fantastic job of creating a plugin for WordPress that makes your site easier to read for mobile browsers.

The process is very simple:

1.  Download the plugin here:  Wordpress PDA & iPhone

2.  Extract all to your wp-content/plugins directory on your website server

3.  Open your site’s Wordpress admin page and go to plugins

4.  Activate the plugin

5.  Tada!  Your site can now be easily read and navigated with a mobile browser.

As of this posting, Imthiaz does claim that the iPhone portion is in a beta testing state.  However, I tried it out with my new iPhone and it looks great!

An iPhone quick tip: You can easily take a screen capture of the iPhone by holding the Home button and clicking the Sleep/Wake button.
