Make Your Blog Mobile Device Friendly

Have you ever wanted to mobilize your blog but couldn’t figure it out? I have — that’s why I was excited when I learned about Blog4mobile.com. Blog4mobile.com is a free service which syndicates your blog so it can be easily accessed on mobile devices like mobile phones and PDAs.

Think about it — if you ever visited a professional website via mobile device, you probably saw something different than you did on your home computer. I see it all the time on my BlackBerry — websites like CNN.com have a mobile version which is optimized for the smaller screen and slower connection speed of mobile devices. Now you can offer this same look and feel using the free Blog4mobile.com service.

Better than just a simple RSS feed of your content, Blog4mobile.com uses the feed in combination with their content-recreating technology to make your mobile site not only readable but attractive like your regular site. Its the best of both worlds — optimized for mobile devices but with full content and look-and-feel of your normal site. Did I mention that the service is free? Check it out. While you are at it, add your mobile blog to their directory of sites. This boosts your traffic and visibility on the mobile web.
