How To Make Your Blog Mobile!

A quick note if you'd like a fast way to get your blog on mobile phones.

First off, I bought the domain, "TheBrandCorral.mobi over at goDaddy.com and then forwarded it to the feedburnerlink of my existing blog.

Now when a reader enters www.TheBrandCorral.mobi in their mobile phone, up comes a list of my articles. Clicking on an article (in my BlackBerry) gives them two choices. View Description or Read Article. Choosing Read Article, gives a terrific mobile friendly version of my blog including graphics and all my side bar information.

That's it.

    I made www.probook.ca/blog work on mobile phones with a great wordpress plugin. And, as it should, it links to Brand Corral ;)

    I noticed you .mobi the other day, Ed. Very interesting stuff...

    Always a good idea to secure your brandname in domains. A lot of sites these days also use "m.domainname.com" or "mobile.domainname.com" to redirect to their mobile site.
