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.

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
