Using Mofuse I was able to create a mobile version of this site. You can see a link in the banner or simply go to http://mgorey.mofuse.mobi for a look.
I checked it on my phone’s browser and it is easier to scan the articles and main content.
Mofuse fetches the content via an RSS feed, begging the question why not just use a reader to visit sites on your mobile phone? I did that with my feed and the difference was that Mofuse gives a handy list of articles, whereas the reader presented the whole article and I had to scroll down to select another one.
The Dancing queen post I made in Windows Live Writer didn’t render properly in Mofuse, giving a long horizontal scroll, but looked fine reading the direct feed.
American users can invite people to enter their mobile number and receive an SMS with the link. That service is not available in Australia.
The free account enables mobile ads to be published on a 50-50 revenue sharing basis, which is the other main difference compared with a standard feed reader.
I have no logical need for any of this, of course. I can’t imagine anyone being so keen to read this site that they would feel the need to do so on a mobile phone browser. It was just interesting to check it out and see how it works.
