Mobile Sites ReVamped

Phew! I have almost finished converting the free mofuse blogs over to Mofuse Premium blogs.
Updated mobile links on sidebar.
New Twi-Mobile site at http://twimobile.prohost.mobi/ also updated.
About half the sites have also added a new feature where mobile devices are automatically redirected to the mobile site. Fancy huh?
IPad users please let me know if you are being redirected and if it's driving you crazy as the mobile blogs aren't iPad optimized.

Lastly, the sidebar lower half of members are those whose mobile sites aren't in proper order right now. I would never take you off since you have allowed me to badger you enough to be here. It's just a reminder to get stuff fixed and indeed email me for assistance at twicupcake(at)gmail.com

For those wanting to join Twi-Mobile and don't have a mobile site yet they'll have these options.
- free - if you want to switch to another platform entirely convert to wordpress.com or wordpress.org self-hosted
- free - if you want to leave your desktop blog alone - Mobify.me - meant for web designers so basic knowledge of CSS important but don't you have a programmer friend :) Just kidding...email me for help twicupcake(at)gmail.com
- paid - for 3 bucks/month at mofusepremium.com with promo code three - feel free to fiddle with making your own site or email me to do it for you - it takes me about 10 minutes a site - helpful if I have a current blog banner and button for you

Free Mofuse for Blogs Have Changed

Sigh, I leave the blogging world for two weeks and look what happens? Free Mofuse for Blogs is no longer available. Instead they are offering a very low price (only 3 bucks a month) for their MofusePremium Jumpstart plan. You just enter promo code three.


Considering that the MofusePremium is more flexible, extremely easy to use, offers autodetection of mobile devices, and has lots of other features we should be happy they're offering it for only 3 bucks a month. There are still limitations to this beginner plan, mainly that there is a low maximum number of elements (links, pages, etc) per blog.

This last part is what doesn't work for me. If you've used my latest Twi-Mobile site at http://twi-mobile.prohost.mobi/ you would have noticed that all the network member links don't fit on one page and I've had to list people over a few pages. Just not as elegant.

What's my free alternative? The free alternative to this is to use mobify. It is indeed free and makes beautiful sites. I can put unlimited links on it and really customize everything and not just show an RSS feed. Downside? You need to know basic CSS in order to pretty it up. Not an issue for those of you web designers out there but for the rest of us there's a bit of a learning curve. You can hire a web designer of course to help with this but once again incurring more costs.

So for now I've changed over my mobile blog to http://twimobile.mobify.me
http://twimobile.prohost.mobi/

It's basic but it lists all the mobile friendly blogs for now. Speaking of which all of you who have free mofuse blogs started by me or who have joined up to this point should be expecting an email soon from me.
