UrbanReviewSTL Now iPhone/iPod touch Friendly

January 3, 2009 Downtown 6 Comments

On the 1st I finally got motivated to install a special iPhone plug-in for this blog.  I had uploaded it to my server a couple of months ago but I never activated it.   But after Antonio French activated the same plug-in on PubDef.net I suddenly became more motivated, activating mine within an hour of him doing so.  It was easy and I encountered no problems so I wish I had done it months ago.

The main view above shows the most recent post on top with the number of comments shown in the red circle.  Clicking the arrow next to each post will show you an excerpt.  Clicking on the post will show you the full post (including pictures).

Selecting menu will give you many choices:

As you can see, numerous pages can be viewed on the iPhone.  Links and the full archives can easily be found.  Recent photos from my Flickr account can also be viewed.  A quick email link to me is at the bottom.

Within a post you can read comments or even add a comment.  This new layout detects those who are using an iPhone or iPod touch and displays automatically.  Those wishing to view the regular site have that option by scrolling down to the bottom and selecting ‘regular view’.

The iPhone has certainly transformed my life.  I’m better connected than before but I now spend less time in front of my desktop computer.  The iPod Touch gives you the same layout when accessing the site via a wi-fi network.

    Oh Great! We’re just about done fixing Vista, now the Zunes go crazy. But don’t worry, we’ll be coming up with better ideas than this really soon.

    Any chance you’ll stop truncating your RSS feed?

    I take that it is now off?

    [slp —A few days ago I upgraded the software that manages the blog and the iPhone layout wasn’t working with it so I deactivated it. I reactivated it and after your comment and tested it again. Now it is working.]
