If you’re interested in enhancing the smartphone experience on your WordPress blog, the WP-Touch plugin by Brave New Code is worth checking out.
The instant change that occurs upon activating WP Touch is impressive. WP Touch applies a mobile theme for those browsing via smartphone and gives a WordPress site an RSS reader feel. Blog entries are given center stage and site pages are accessed via dropdown navigation. As well, a switch is added to the bottom of the page, lettting the visitor switch between the WP-Touch theme and the original site.
The administration page added to the WordPress dashboard is also nice. Settings are clearly organized and explained well. One can adjust theme colors, decide which pages show up as options for visitors, set up AdSense and even set up push notification via Prowl.
I’ll be looking into other smartphone plugins for WordPress, but we’re very happy with this one at the moment. If you visit Mediactive via smartphone, please let us know what you think.
