New Mobile Version Has Arrived
Nov 12th, 2010 |
In October I posted about my unhappiness with the mobile version of Good Beer, Good Pubs that I had been using for some months. Whilst the plugin that I had used was versatile and easy to setup I didn’t like the appearance and it was hard to fully control which bits of the site were visible.

Mobile Version Revisited
Oct 12th, 2010 |
Back in the late spring I blogged about introducing a mobile friendly version of the Good Beer Good Pubs site. This mobile version was provided by using a plugin for WordPress – the content system that drives the site. Recently I’ve been checking the stats and I can see that although the numbers vary, something like 15% of users of this site access it from what the system thinks is a mobile device.
But I’m not happy. Mobile Version Revisited: Read the full post »
Mobile Version of Good Beer, Good Pubs
Jun 11th, 2010 |
Good Beer, Good Pubs is trying out a mobile version for those of you (and me) who need information on the move. And I’d really appreciate you telling me what you think, and whether it works for you.
The mobile version is provided by using a tool called WordPress Mobile Pack. It works automatically by trying to detect if you’re using a mobile to access the site. So there’s no separate url to remember. And if it guesses wrongly, there’s always a link to allow you to swap between the versions.
I’m using it now to post this and it seems ok so far. But please leave some comments to let me know what you think.
Cheers

Normal Service Resumed
Aug 10th, 2009 |
Just back from a week in Devon where I had no internet connection and no mobile signal. Just beautiful countryside and time to chill-out with the kids – except there is no real chilling-out with kids is there?
However I did get to visit a couple of good pubs and enjoy some superb beer, and the sun did shine for meaningful lengths of time. So you can imagine how thrilled I am to be back at work…
Anyway, I’ve got a bit of catching up to do.
