The number of readers accessing this blog via a mobile browser has grow considerably over this past year – the vast majority using Safari on the iPhone. Since the design of The Digital Edge isn’t particularly ‘mobile friendly’, many have contacted me asking if I could do anything to make it render faster/better for them.
Starting today, anyone connecting with any generation of iPhone or iPod Touch will see a slimmed down rendering of the regular site when they connect:
You can now scroll through a summary of posts on the home page, and click on the “Read Entire Post>” to view the full story – including all images and comments. Controls are also available to let you share posts on popular social sites.
I have been working – albeit slowly – on a complete refresh of this site that is going to include a more customized version of this iPhone template. However, with interest in a solution increasing, I figured it made sense to go ahead and get this basic iPhone support rolled out now. I appreciate your patience.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks to the folks over at iWPhone for the plugin that makes this possible.
