WPTouch UI for Mobile Users

I recently enabled WPTouch to change the user interface for mobile users visiting using iPhones, Android phones, Palm Pre phones and other smart devices. Hopefully this will speed up the page loads for people checking the site on the go.

How BlurDotBlog home page looks on the iPhone

WPTouch is a plugin from Brand New Code and is easy to install and use. Instead of being served the regular page, a stripped down page is shown. But just because it is stripped down doesn’t mean there is a a loss of functionality. Users can still leave comments, navigate to other pages or jump to your Twitter feed.

How a blog post looks using WPTouch

If your site uses WPSuperCache there are a few things you will need to configure and there is help for that on the WPTouch website but other than that it works right out of the box.

You can get more information at the Brand New Code website http://www.bravenewcode.com/products/wptouch/

Some Spring Cleaning

Here at Blur Dot Blog the Internet Elves have been hard at work for the past few hours doing some spring cleaning on the site.

The side bar is gone, the links have been moved into a separate page and the photographs will be larger from now on.

There is still a little more work to do but check out the new look.

Breaking Story (?)

The Daily Mail Newspaper online yesterday published a story about a photographer jumping between two outcrops at the Grand Canyon. What is unusual about this story is that it includes photographs that were posted to Flickr nearly two years ago by another photographer who caught the action with his camera.

It should also been mentioned that while the feat is still dangerous it is not nearly as dangerous as it is described. You can read more about it here on snopes.com.
