I mentioned before about the WordPress Mobile Pack Plugin by assembla, since then I found a new mobile plug-in that for my use is better. Since I have an iPhone and the growing popularity of the iPhone I decided to install the WPtouch Mobile Plug-in by Brave New Code instead. Fast and clean this mobile plug-in makes your WordPress Blog look like an iPhone App. The mobile theme is viewable by any mobile device so those who do not have an iPhone can still enjoy the view.

I found a very interesting plug-in for WordPress today called WordPress Mobile Pack by assembla. It automatically adjusts your WordPress site to look great on any web enabled smart phone. I have an iPhone and even though the normal site looks great, this is far more efficient, quicker, and streamlined when viewing. You can see from the screenshot I took how nice it really is. The sidebar to the right is moved to the bottom and some widget are eliminated for space and speed (allowed up to 5 widget – I suggest keeping it basic). I noticed that when viewing a post with many NextGen Gallery by Alex Rabe, photos it sorts them vertically. I need to modify my posts to not have so many photos. Other than that small adjustment (which I wanted to do anyway) I see no issues.
You can also login to the admin area and make a new post, edit posts, comments, and adjust setting of your blog. By far one of the most useful plug-ins I am using.
<edit> I found one major issue. When using Yet Another PhotoBlog plugin the layout is rearranged where the photo goes after all of the text. I have not yet dug into the code so I am not sure where the issue lies. So for now I deactivated YAPB and inserted the photos the old way.
<edit again> Funny thing is; my other blogs with the same plugins do not have this issue. Maybe I should try a fresh install of Wordpress and start over, some other funny things are happening.
<final edit> It was something with the install of WordPress. I created a new folder on the server, uploaded all the files. Connected / replaced the new wp-conf.php with the old one and everything worked. I then uploaded all the plug-ins again and activated them (checking the site after each activation). I then activated the mobile pack, tested perfectly on both iPhone and computer.
