You can now access a mobile-ready version the Zoinger blog “here”:2! In addition, WordPress now auto-detects various mobile browsers and automajically displays the mobile version for those browsers.

Enabling a mobile edition of WordPress is easy… all you have to do is install a “plugin”:1 called _WordPress Mobile Edition_. After that, the plugin pretty much does the rest.

I did encountering a bug with the plugin when I initially installed it. It worked fine except it was bouncing mobile browsers up one level in the file structure, so I was getting a @file not found@ error. That is, the plugin was sending mobile browsers to @www.zoinger.com/wp-mobile.php@ instead of @www.zoinger.com/words/wp-mobile.php@. To fix this, I hacked this line in the @wp-mobile.plugin.php@ file:

bq.. @$URL = $siteurl.’wp-mobile.php?’;@

changed to

@$URL = $siteurl.’../words/wp-mobile.php?’;@

p. I’ve updated the “_WordPress Customization_”:3 static page (also linked to in the sidebar) to include notes on this plugin.
