I also felt guilty because this very website was also commiting the same sin. But not any more. Courtesy of MobilePress plugin for WordPress this blog is now mobile friendly. I can now rest a little easier as I rewrite this site to use my own CMS system (which will be mobile friendly) as I’ve much bigger plans for this site other than just my blog :)

Most sites could easily support Mobile Web Browsers through server-side detection and a bit of CSS. Sites like OSNews.com and Lifehacker.com both detect my Nokia and display in a Mobile friendly format (240×320) however other sites I visit regularly (Linux.com, Planet Ubuntu, Planet Ubuntu UK, Ubuntu Weblogs and any WordPress blog) all assume you’re using a regular web-browser and display oversized on my Nokia. Unfortunately having said that I’m guilty of non-mobile firendlieness here on AlanDoyle.com BUT I am working on modifying my theme to detect and support mobile web-browsers. End Rant.

Update: I’ve now updated the site to be mobile friendly.

Basically I’ve set this blog up as a way for me to keep notes of the changes I make to Ubuntu in my quest to set it up “perfectly”, something I’ve been unable to do with Windows XP. I’ll be slowly importing my old notes into this blog over the coming weeks and hopefully add some content that someone will find useful.

Seeya soon.
