Double Exposure
jwubbel
Double your exposure by delivering your blog posts to mobile devices. Even though you may be posting to AR, many of us maintain our own WordPress Blogs. I know in my case, I have worked hard to make my WP blog a knowledge base or reference repository by incorporating zlinks and annotation. And, based on traffic I know the browser agents visiting are mostly Desktop browsers. For a long time I have wanted to make it easy for folks with PDAs, handheld devices like Blackberries or Cell phones to surf my blog. Oh joy for the plugins, it is now possible.
If you go to your cell phone and punch in the following URL http://www.propertyclubpro.com/blog my blog should come up so you can read it on the go. I hope this generates double the traffic for opening up to a whole new audience.
Sending content to mobile devices has been a challenge because each device is different, each brand of device may have different browsers supporting on different size displays. So how does your web server know what to send?
