There is one thing I’m sure most Bloggers are not doing yet and that is making their Blogs readable to mobile phones, including the I-Phone. More and more people are using their phones to Twitter and read Facebook, why not make your available in a format that makes it easy to navigate? If you get out their early and the average Blog, no matter how old and established it may be doesn’t, you have the advantage.
While most phones allow you to read existing Blogs remember they now have grown larger and larger in their footprint and it will require much more bandwidth to even open them. This is because most Blogs have a slew of plugins. So what is the answer?
Well as ironic as it may seem it will take a plugin. It’s called WordPress Mobile Pack. It includes a mobile switcher to select themes based on the type of user that is visiting the site, a selection of mobile themes, extra widgets, device adaptation and a mobile administration panel to allow users to edit the site or write new posts when out and about.
Now you can tout you Blog as mobile ready.
The plugin can be found at

This is really cool. I have to agree with you Chris that if we get a head of the pack and get our blogs so that they are mobile friendly, it probably will help us beat out some of the competition. IF there are very few people doing this, then we could be showing up in searches where we normally would not be.
