Got a PDA? Added WP-PDA plugin.
Posted by Kirk M on 26 Jan 2007 | Tagged as: Blogging
Becky from Sprites and Bites told me about the simple WP-PDA plugin that detects the browser agent and loads a special theme for viewing specifically on a PDA. By what I hear, the plugin works just great for those who have PDA’s.
Me–I don’t own one so I guess I’ll just have to wait until someone leaves a comment and tells me if it works okay and what a wonderful blog I have. 
Happy mobile viewing all.
Update 01-27-07: On receiving feedback from the above lady (I don’t have a PDA myself–no wireless up here so I can’t test the plugin) I have removed the above plugin and installed the WordPress Mobile Edition instead which uses up less bandwidth for mobile users. It does this by displaying links to the posts instead post snippets plus the link.
I also removed the ‘Math Comment Spam Protection’ plugin as well since it will not show up above the comment box when viewed on a PDA which also means those with PDA’s cannot successfully submit a comment. Becky has contacted the author of the “Math” plugin to see if there is a work around available. Until then, I’ll leave the ‘Math Comment Spam Protection’ turned off.
Ain’t I a nice guy though?

Good deal! Thanks Becky.
How do you like that? Testing and troubleshooting across the wide North Atlantic ocean. Isn’t modern day WWW amazing though?
