WAP enabling BillDay.com
BillDay.com is now WAP/WML enabled.
I’ve been wanting to provide a stripped down version of my site for mobile phone users for some time. It only makes sense that a wireless guy and J2ME evangelist would have a mobile version of his site, right?
I’ve tinkered with WAP-enabling little bits of my site before, but my blogification of BillDay.com finally gave me the means to do things right. Thanks to my favorite WordPress hack, WP WAP, you can now browse my blog from a WAP phone via: http://billday.com/wp-wap.php
(You can find this link in the future from the Other Formats and Syndication section in the right gutter.)
I’ve included a couple of screenshots of the mobile version of the site to give you a feel for how BillDay.com behaves on a WAPified gadget. When you first connect you’ll see a homepage containing a listing of recent blog entries as shown; select an entry’s title to load and read the entry. If you click on either of the provided screenshots, you’ll see what would happen if you selected the first entry to read.
Want to browse the mobile site yourself but don’t have a WAP phone? Download the Nokia Mobile Browser Simulator or use Gelon.net’s online Wapalizer or your WAP simulator of choice to open the WAP URL above. And if you do try out the site via WAP, please let me know what you think.
BTW, the main site is valid XHTML 1.0, so if your mobile browser supports XHTML, you may not even need to bother with the WAP version.
I know it’s a little late for a comment here but I had to plug our new
mobile app Photo NewsReader (www.49pm.com) - it’ll read any Atom or RSS
feed and display associated photos formatted exactly to the size of the
mobile display. It goes through a backend server which does the
preformatting. It’ll also figure out the feed url from the web location of
the blog. WAP is great - but I think J2ME with a server backend is
better!
