Thanks! I did use Alex King’s plugin but maybe I screwed up previously or didn’t notice the view in full at the bottom but have installed it back and it works!

My main concern was not being able to log in but since I already have the login link on the sidebar and if I view the page in full, it will allow me to go in. Cool! Thanks again!

May C, that’s the mobile blog-conversion plugin from Alex King — the king of Wordpress plugins. It detects a mobile device and serves up a stripped-down version of the blog, but with a link to the full version for those who might prefer it.

What plugin are you using that allows you to “view full HTML” with your mobile? Would you mind sharing it? I would love to get that plugin.

Yeah, the fact that you can’t log in using Alex’s plugin is definitely a pain — but if I go to my blog on my mobile, I just click “view full HTML” or whatever it is at the bottom of the page and then log in. I mostly have the plugin for others who might want to view the blog on their phones.

I originally used Alex King’s mobile plugin and it worked great but the only problem is that I can’t log into my blog with my Treo since it won’t take me to the login page. So, although my readers will love the plugin, it doesn’t work for me. So, I disabled it for that since I want to be able to blog with my Treo.

I have since started using mo:blog and u*blog but still unsure about enabling the plugin again. I do have mobile links on the side bar so that people can visit my site with those links so it still works.

Russell is a bit overrated in my view but who cares about what I think?

I do find it annoying that the Blazer browser on my Treo is so underpowered to do much of anything. I need Flash support at least since too many sites require Flash in order to work.

That’s all I’m complaining about now.
