##There were Flickr images here but I deleted my Flickr account##Since Jon and Dakota are busy playing something called Animal Crossing on Nintendo DS, I thought I’d come follow up on the iPhone viewing feature I mentioned recently.
Clearly I love WordPress. It is the foundation of this blog. One of the great things about it is the plugins; the third party developed, click to install packages that add specific features to your site. Think of a function you would like to implement and chances are there’s already a plug-in that does it or, at the very least, one that provides a decent starting point for it.
The most recent example for me began with the desire for an alternative layout of the site, one that allowed the key content to be loaded quickly and cleanly for mobile viewing. WPtouch, a plug-in by Brave New Code, was the answer, and it is a very very cool answer indeed.
With only minutes required on the install, here’s the result.
The Josh icon resulting from adding tim.teejaypee.com to the iPhone home screen. The custom icon is uploaded into the WPtouch icon pool to be managed by the plug-in.
The tim.teejaypee.com front page as viewed on an iPhone.
