WPtouch

WPtouch™ image from the WPtouch™ Gallery

I’ve installed WPtouch™ on tokyololas’ blog, so that those of you visiting from an iPhone™ or Blackberry Storm™ or other smart phones can get a trimmed down view of things (saving both time and data charges). If you click on an individual post heading, or on “Read this post”, you will be taken to the actual post page and be able to see the images in the post, etc. If you prefer the full, regular view, you can toggle the “Mobile Theme” switch (at the bottom of the page) to “off”.

So far it seems like a great plugin from the BraveNewCode people, but if any of you regular readers who read this blog from your mobile dislike it, let me know and I’ll deactivate it!

For WordPress users:
A little hint to anyone else installing this plugin and wanting to get thumbnails of post images to show in the post previews in the “Mobile Theme” version: under “Settings” in your WP Dashboard, click on the WPtouch link to customize your WPtouch™ settings and, in the first section (General Settings), change the “Post Listings Options” from “Calendar Icons” to “Post Thumbnails”. Then, make sure that for each blog post you create (or have created) that you enter a thumbnail image (which can be done on the individual post page, on the lower right, under “Post Thumbnail”). You can go back to earlier posts and add in the thumbnail by hitting “Set thumbnail” and then selecting one of the images from that Post’s Gallery, clicking “Show”, and then clicking “Use as thumbnail” and “Save all changes”.
