#MobiBlog – Web AddiCT(s); now available as a Nokia App
If you’re a blogger in South Africa, anywhere in Africa, or anywhere in the wwworld you should definitely consider offering your users a mobile version of your blog. Yes your theme looks mighty awesome but on the small screen it may be really difficult to read your words of wisdom.
I just had a look at the top browsers who visited this blog over the past month and a whopping 44.71% of readers use… Opera Mini as their browser of choice. A picture paints a 1000 words so have a look…
The quickest way to ensure you have a mobile ready WordPress blog is to install the Carrington Mobile theme that will automagically render a mobile friendly version of your blog to any visitors who access your site via mobile. Carrington Mobile is an elegant mobile theme with that supports advanced touch browsers (iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, Pre) and is also backward compatible with older mobile devices.
