WPTouch - WordPress Blogs Look Even Better on the iPhone

A few days ago Jesse Stay wrote about a WordPress plugin that generates an iPhone-esque version of your blog so that iPhone viewers will get an even richer viewing experience. I just wanted to echo Jesse’s post, adding my appreciation towards Dale Mugford & Duane Storey, the creators of the plugin.

You can install it just like any other WordPress plugin (move the contents of the plugin to blog-root/wp-content/plugins replacing blog-root with the directory you installed WordPress to), then you can edit the way you would like it to appear on the device. For the image to the right, I changed the colors to match my normal theme (for a consistent appearance).

You can download the plugin from this page.

If you want to know how to make a custom icon when you save a link to the home-screen of your iPhone/iPod Touch, see this post.

    I am starting my technical blog using word press and this is great! I am really excited to try it out. Your blog looks good with it. Thanks for the tip.

    Thanks for the heads up on this. I now have it running and I love it! It was really easy to install and now it works faster on the iphone. Keep up the good work.
