Brand new iPhone compatibility

October 9th, 2009 | Categories: MacOSX, Site | Tags: , ,

When you visit this site from an iPhone the result is not very pleasing. This is what it looked like a few minutes ago on my own iPhone:

I have to start pinching and spreading the display to be able to actually read anything. Further, since all images and the full text of the top posts is loaded by the iPhone, it takes up a bit of (probably) valuable bandwidth, resulting in higher cost.

Enter WPtouch, a WordPress plugin — more than a plugin:

WPtouch is an entire theme package for your WordPress website. Modeled after Apple's app store design specs, WPtouch makes your WordPress website load lightning fast on touch mobile devices, show your content beautifully, all while not interfering with your regular theme.

I first saw this on Stefan's site, and when I mentioned it, he told me about it. Installation of the plugin is tremendously easy, and I've set the plugin's numerous options to what I consider useful.

This site now loads much faster and is much easier to navigate on your iPhone and compatible. Enjoy!
