A Small Site Update

For those of you who do your websurfing on your PDA’s or celphones, I’ve created a slimmed down version of the site for you. You can see it by clicking here. The mobile version of the site has the most recent five entries and the comment thread. I don’t know much about WAP or anything like that, so if it doesn’t work on your celphone, there’s probably not much I can do about it.

Also, since I’ve been doing most of my blog reading through a newreader, I’ve updated my RSS 1.0 and 2.0 templates to include full entries. If you’ve got a blog, I reccommend doing the same. For those of you with Movable Type, all you have to do is replace this line in your RSS templates :

<description><$MTEntryExcerpt encode_xml=”1″$></description>

With this :

<description><$MTEntryBody encode_xml=”1″ remove_html=”0″ $><$MTEntryMore encode_xml=”1″ remove_html=”0″ $></description>

That’s it.

  1. I’ve been thinking about doing a WAP version of my site– not that I expect people to check Mellifluence on their cellphones– I just wanted to do it for the sake of doing it. Was it difficult? Well, you’ll have a boomark in at least one cellphone. I love WAP.

  2. Actually, I cheated a bit. The WML standard seems to be very strict about image use and any little thing can break the page. After playing around with some WAP templates I found online, I decided to just go with unformatted HTML based on the stipped-down version of Yahoo.com.
