Make Your Site Mobile-Friendly in Two Minutes

Have you ever tried surfing the new on a Pocket PC, Palm OS, or some other handheld device? Some sites are designed to work well on a handheld, but most are not.

Well, I’ve been to lazy to attempt the work I thought was necissary to make a PDA friendly site. Now, it looks like a person can do it in 2 mintues with Mike Davidson’s tutorial. I think I’ll give it a shot when I have 2 (or 30) minutes to spare.

    Sound like a good idea. Although it seems a more ideal solution would be to use standards based XHTML/CSS and just have a separate style sheet for the handheld media type. Like so:
    <link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” media=”handheld” href=”handheld.css” />

    Yeah, it may be ideal, but much more work & time – especially if you have not designed an xhtml/css based site.

    Excellent article. It was helpful and informative. That is a great tutorial, thank you for finding it.
    I need a mobile site because I run a mobile site, so it only makes sense.

    Palm’s new OS called webOS comes with a pretty good browser for viewing non-mobile friendly pages now. i did have a Treo back in the PalmOS days and that sucked.

    I appreciate the PDA tutorial because I definitely want my website to be visible from any type of mobile device. I think that using the iPhone WordPress plug-in is extremely useful and is something that should not be overlooked.
