One of the keys to keeping your blog afloat is keeping it current. Most people now surf the web outside of home: phones are the most popular tools to do so. Many blogs offer a mobile version of your site, but not all of them are up to a modern visual standard nor offer the functionality your readers deserve.
I use blogger mobile as my default mobile browser but now I introduced Mippin to this space. All I needed to do was submit the URL and/or RSS feed (you can add up to 4 different feeds) and my mobile site was created. One of the many advantages of Mippin is being able to customize and design the layout with no coding experience. They guide you through a step-by-step user-friendly customization and it takes less than 5 minutes. Mippin makes the site compatible with all phones, including Android, iPhone, Symbian and Blackberry.
I added my link on the sidebar... so take out your phones and carry blogmilk wherever you go.
This is actually one of the reasons why I much prefer to blog on Tumblr than on any other platform—all Tumblelogs are automatically optimized for web devices!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! I'll be sure to share Mippin with other bloggers. Non-mobilized websites have been a recent pet peeve of mine (as nerdy as that sounds).
You are so right, it is always important to be comfortable with your hosts. ;)
DeleteSuch a great tool-what would I do without your savvy?!
ReplyDeleteThank you darling, Lena :) xo
DeleteI tried out Mippin right away after I saw your post, because I've been struggling to make my blog mobile-friendly. I was really surprised at how easy it was to set up and the customization features. Unfortunately, Mippin only shows the first photo of each post, as a photo blogger, the latter seemed not so ideal. So I don't think I'll be using it now, but still a great resource/idea. I hope Mipping keeps developing to help websites become mobile-friendly. :]
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this info, I will share it with with my readers asap.
