Being able to access blogs on a mobile device, such as a phone, may not be that important to everyone, but I know there are a certain number of people who read this site while on the move.
As I own both mneylon.mobi and micheleneylon.mobi I’ve repointed them directly here and am using the dotmobi WURFL plugin to handle it all. I know that some of the images I post won’t fit neatly onto people’s handhelds, but the text should be legible.
Now to find a similar solution for Movable Type!

There’s a certain minimalist elegance to the dot mobi content that I like and we’re going to try to make a learning-friendly mobi site for one of the creative multimedia modules that I teach in Tipperary Institute.

The .mobi team have put together plenty of tutorials to help developers, which is kind of handy 🙂
How is this displaying for you?

Michele,
Are you seeing people in any numbers (ie more than 1%) coming to your website(s) via mobile devices?

I’ll have to check the logs to see what the exact percentage is

I am using a php based tracking script, what should I look for to see how many users are browsing on their mobile device?
michele says
@paul – according to analytics the numbers are very low, but I think I’ll run awstats on them to be 100% sure
@Eric – the UserAgent string usually contains the info you need to identify the platform they’re using
