Hidey Ho tweeps! I know it’s been a long time since I’ve put anything of substance up on the site. So today… something useful, quick, affordable, and oozing awesomesauce! Those of you that know me… know I’m a total analytics freak / geek. So when I start to notice trends I do what I can to appease those fine folks that visit my humble online abode.

With the increase of US based mobile users, (and more importantly all of the fine folks that check my site out from their phone) I started to take a look at a few of my older sites to see how long they took to load on my iPhone…. were they borked? Did they load quickly? There’s nothing more irrating than trying to get a site to load so  you can quickly call them when your lost and need directions, oh yeah and in heavy traffic. That being said… all of my sites got a big fat whopping F!

So this morning I set out with the ’simple goal’ of making a mobi version of this site. Tried a few hacks, messed up my .htaccess file… grew more gray hair, pulled some more out… then I stumbled across Crowd Favorite which (if you click the link) you’ll find a plugin called WordPress Mobile Version. Three minutes later my entire site was up and mobile! Fast, browser friendly, stripped down from the web version (with the option to switch over)

Point being… if you take a look at your analytics and notice an increase in mobile users visiting your website, well take the 3 minutes to download > unzip > FTP > activate the plugin and Viola! Anyone visiting your site from a mobile device will get a fast, clean, crisp, Awesomesauce version of your site on their hand held device!

*sidenote* I can’t remember how to take a screen shot off my iphone… so if you have a mobile browser open it up and take a look at the site – then tell me if it worked or not in the comments Oh yeah one more quick side note… SEO 101 will be resuming our regular schedule starting this Monday! Be sure to tune in!
