Your WordPress Blog on your iPhone/iTouch

I recently discovered that this blog’s template did not look very good on my iPod Touch.  The Safari browser actually shrinks down images, etc. so you can view web pages on your Apple mobile.  This made it so the explanatory area at the top of the template was only half-way readable because the black background became much shorter and did not back the lower half of text.

I was going to code a handheld CSS document, but I really don’t have the time with school and all.  I decided to troll for a good iPhone plugin for my Wordpress blogs.  Ta da!  I found a really good plugin called WPtouch.

WPtouch

You install it onto your Wordpress blog, not on your iPhone or iTouch.  You then have to configure it to display how you want.

I am quite impressed with this plugin because it loads my pages like an advanced RSS feed where you see excerpts and click on an excerpt to go the full post.

You can search for posts throughout my blog.

You can also access my other pages like links, categories, series, and rss feed.

All this with a familiar Apple interface so I really don’t have to fix CSS or anything. I like that.
