Make your WordPress site mobile
One of my current clients is the type of guy who is always on the run, and depends heavily on his Blackberry and cellphone for keeping up to date on emails and the web. He’s the first client who has brought up the subject of creating a site that is accessible on a mobile phone.
The subject was sidelined, but luckily I came across two plugins that make your WordPress site accessible on mobile phones with the click of a button!

Alex King’s Mobile Edition is basically a cookie and a theme that detects portable devices and switches the theme.
Using WP-Theme Switcher you can also switch to it in Firefox.
Black Hornet – that’s a really good tip about being able to see mobile versions in Firefox with the Theme Switcher plugin. Gotta check that out.
Hi – I’ve got another great option for you – and it’s better than the ones you’ve already talked about!
It’s called the Wapple Architect Mobile Plugin for WordPress and it mobilizes your blog. It makes your blog work on every single device, from a WML phone to a brand new swanky phone with XHTML. Images are dynamically resized and you get the option to really customize your blog any way you want.
In addition, you can upload mobile logos, style your site so the mobile version matches the website and you retain your brand identity. You also get loads of control over mobile SEO.
If you fancy giving it a go, the URL is http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wapple-architect/ – it’d be great to hear your feedback!
