So, I got my new Centro and an unlimited data plan, which means I’m sitting at my computer, but surfing the web on my phone’s 2.5" screen. Makes a lot of sense, I know. Eventually, I made my way to my blog, and suddenly remembered that it’s extremely unfriendly to the bandwidth-challenged out there. I ended up getting errors from the Centro’s browser because it took too long to render the page. That’s when I started looking for a WordPress plugin that would render an alternate layout for mobile devices.
I found some real crap out there, but one that worked absolutely great is made by Alex King (http://alexking.org). My pages download extremely quickly to my Centro, and it also displays photos that I import via my Flickr-tag plugin (which another mobile plug did not).
If you have a WordPress website, I wouldn’t hesitate for a minute installing this plugin. Considering how much time people spend surfing the web on mobile devices, you don’t want them avoiding you site simply because they can’t get it to load.
