Mobile internet. The future has arrived. Everyone now seems to have a smart phone to access the web plus more importantly they’re in fact utilizing it to find web pages online.

I'd think anyone would love to have a cellular enhanced alternative of his or her blog/website but in previous years that's proved to be a challenging task.

If you were not really an expert web site programmer or if you didn't have the funds to pay a developer to construct a customized mobile solution for you then utilizing a portable web site or blog site wasn't a priority.

That has pretty much all changed today, especially for WordPress users. These days there are a number of good quality plugins available for the open source blogging service, and the great thing is almost all of them are free.

The ‘how to’ aspect is very straightforward. With the use of one of the plugins listed here, you merely install and click a couple of buttons. You’ll then have a smartphone website!

I deal with a few common, quality WordPress smartphone plugins here below that you should consider:

WP Touch

WPTouch is among the more well known WordPress smartphone plugins which is currently in use by thousands of users. The advantage of WP Touch is that it’s surprisingly easy to set up and configure. All you have to do is upload the plugin, activate it, then proceed through only one page of choices to configure it how you like.

It looks fantastic ‘right out of the box’ as soon as you configure it, you may pick which pages you would like to show and you can now add advertisements to it including Google adsense to help you generate income from your mobile site.

WP Touch is the mobile plugin that powers my website, KennethHolland.com.

Wapple Architect Mobile Plugin

Wapple is a total solution for WordPress mobile users. The major benefit of Wapple is the degree of modification you can do to configure your mobile website. You can include a custom header and graphics and design and style your web site to look much like your regular website.

The disadvantage is it requires a considerable amount of time to set every thing up. I've used it, and honestly it's rather a pain. However, I am thinking about utilizing it later on once I have additional time and resources to devote to it. It's a quality plugin.

WordPress Mobile Pack

WordPress Mobile Pack is the one other high quality plugin. I've mainly tested it (not used it) however I know many web site owners who do use the plugin and adore it. The plugin is updated often to keep pace with bugs and WordPress program changes and that’s important in my opinion.

The only apparent drawback that I’ve seen would be that the themes are difficult to customize except when you are knowledgeable with that type of thing.

So…

You simply cannot go wrong using any of the previously mentioned plug ins for getting your WordPress blog mobile friendly. All of them function extremely well and each have different strengths and weaknesses.

Also, there are many others on the WordPress.org website so you might want to try. These are definitely not the only ones available so there might be another alternative that would be best for you.

If you’re not sure which one suits your objectives you should consider all of them. They’re easy to ramp up and try out. The real key here is to choose one and get your mobile optimized blog going. The future is here and the time is now.
