Go Mobile Ugly Green

PostDateIcon February 17th, 2010 | PostAuthorIcon Author: Rich Brambley

This is just a quick note to announce that VMETC.com is now optimized for most mobile browsers. I’ve configured the WPTouch plugin for the site so a mobile theme should show up automatically. Various mobile browsers and devices are supported including the iPhone and iPod Touch.  Bookmark the site in your mobile browser!

For quick access from the iPhone or iPod Touch open VMETC.com in the Safari browser, click the  ”+” icon on the bottom bar, choose “Add to Home Screen”, and then marvel at the Virtually Insane icon that appears among your other apps!

Leaving comments should also be an option from the mobile theme, but I have not fully tested that feature.

UPDATED 02.18.10 – Since there are still several mobile devices, Blackberrys, and other PDAs that do not have a browser supported by the WPTouch plugin (hopefully popular devices will continued to be added during the plug in’s devlopment),

I’ve created m.vmetc.com as an alternative for all mobile devices.

This URL is actually a redirect to my RSS Feed converted into a mobile site via Google Reader. You don’t have to open the URL in Google Reader (or any other RSS reader) , however. Just bookmark and use the URL. I learned about this quick and easy trick from an old LifeHacker article.

    Hi Rich

    Unfortunately the mobile view doesn't seem to work with my Blackberry Bold 9000 browser. I'm still getting the normal view. It's browser version 4.6.0 if that helps.

    Just thought you'd like to know.

    Robert,

    Looks like WPTouch doesn't support certain Blackberry models. I'll let you know if I figure out how to make a mobile vmetc.com available for you.
