Your WordPress blog on a PDA or Iphone

Until recently, I’d never been that concerned with what my website or blog looks like on a PDA. But now I am the happy owner of a Windows Mobile Device, so I had to check my site out. The site displayed all of the graphics but there was a lot of scrolling required to read the text. Plus with data charges not exactly cheap in NZ, I didn’t want anyone to have to download the graphics.

So I thought it would be nice to have my site render properly on a PDA, as word on the street is that is where the future lies (at least according to a Vodafone UK contact I know).

Getting the blog and in fact the entire website rendering properly on a PDA probably sounds like a bit of effort would be involved, but no, it was achieved in 5 minutes. That’s because I use WordPress and there is a WordPress plugin that does exactly what I wanted it to. Once the plugin was installed, my site loaded in plain text with hyper links (and all rather nice and quickly).
