My new favorite WordPress PlugIn is...
What does WPtouch do? If a visitor comes to your blog/site via a desktop or laptop or netbook computer, WPTouch does ... nothing....
However, if a visitor comes to your site via an iPhoneTM, iPod touchTM, AndroidTM, or BlackBerry StormTM touch mobile device, WPtouch styles your blog/site specifically for viewing with a smart phone.
For example, when viewed from a desktop computer, the WordPress-based website for one of the properties we now have in escrow looks like this:
When viewed on an iPhone, that same website looks like this:
See the drop-down arrow in the upper right? You can set the plugin to bring up the menu of pages that is in the sidebar when a user taps the drop-down arrow.
You can create your own custom icons for pages in the menu list, but here's an important tip. At least in my short experience, the upload icon link on the settings page didn't work.
I needed to connect to the website via FTP and manually upload my custom icons to the folder named:
wp-content/plugins/wptouch/images/icon-pool
(Not the custom-icons folder named on the WPtouch settings page)
Your custom icons can be ordinary .JPG or .PNG image files, 57 pixels by 57 pixels, and after you upload them to the icon-pool folder, they will show up the the list of available icons on the settings page:
Thank you Cheryl, I am going to add this, been reading on it.
In the market for a new phone too, my BB is dying, only holding a charge for about 30 minutes and it is not the battery. I was planning on waiting for the Iphone 4G, but now it appears I have to do something quick as I am heading to a conferance in a week and will have no way to keep it plugged in.
I am with Sprint, no problems, but don't want to renew my contract which is expired.
Do you use the Iphone or the droid?
iPhone........ :-)
I know there are parts of the country where people say AT&T's service is really bad; but we don't have that problem here in L A. AZ and Northern CA seem to work fine, too .... I can't speak for the East Coast or MidWest.....
I'll have to look at this plug-in. I have a plug-in for mobile and it seems to work well... but there is always a "better"...
I have been looking for a better mobile browser plug in for two of my sites. I am going to test this. I suspect it will also work on the blackberry bold and curve and maybe ipad too.
Oh Boy! Another thing I didn't know I needed! :>)
Hi Cheryl, Will take look at this plug-in for my WP site.
Cheryl - Very cool, I'm at the beginning stages of creating a WP blog and it can be pretty confusing. I'll bookmark this for when I reach this point.
Cheryl, it's all about a better user experience, thanks for the great download.
