Hi, I’m Isaac. Let’s talk about Mobile WordPress.\n
Hi, I’m Isaac. Let’s talk about Mobile WordPress.\n
One of my favorite people once sung “the times they are a-changing”\nIt was true then, and it’s true now - but for a whole other thing: mobile\nrecent example - facebook F8\nlet’s take a step back and look at some facts\n
ENIAC was, according to Wikipedia, “was the first general purpose electronic computer”\nremember reading about it in school (big, still slower than a normal computer)\nfact is, a regular phone trumps it today\nsilly comparison, was never a personal computer, but a smartphone today is still way more powerful than the early PCs\n
WP is growing. an estimated 14.7% of the top million websites in the world run WP\nnote.. sites, not only blogs.\n
this is an interesting stat I saw while back, and it’s been revised since (it’ll happen earlier) but either way it’s pretty darn incredible\nin africa, many people experiencing the web for the first time (cell phone, bank errands)\n

so this is where my team come in\nI represent the Mobile Team at automattic, work on apps and making mobile WP exp better\nmy colleague jorge is actually here today as well\nfirst thing I want to talk about are the mobile apps\n
secondly I wanted to cover some of the basics around creating mobile friendly themes\n
so let’s start with the apps\n
team I’m leading develops apps for many platforms\n
here they are! first app: iOS, version 2.0 support ipad\nandroid, blackberry - adjusted exp for devices\nwp7, nokia last year (note about nokia) webOS up in the air. all these apps allow us to experiment! wanted to take some time about iOS 2.9 - just launched!\n
wpios 2.9\n
best of all..\n
kolla in koden, hjälp till at testa, bygg saker\n
vi försöker översätta de flesta av Automattics projekt, och så även apparna.\n
\n
\n
\n
wpcom has over 138M pageviews across the network from mobile devices alone\n
surfar in på en wpcom blogg i mobilen så ser man någon av de här två vyerna\nwptouch\ngamla temat för äldre mobiler (icke smartphones)\n
\n
best option is to build or use a theme that’s already responsive\nthis is twenty-eleven\n
wptouch-klon som inte är byggd av automattic men gör i princip samma sak\n
en hel mängd av plugins som gör din blogg mer lättanvänd för mobila webbläsare\n
the key to making your site mobile friendly, is to use responsive design\nif you’re making a client website, they shouldn’t have to pay extra for mobile friendly website - there is only one web\n\n
by adjusting the meta tag you can apply certain rules for specific screen sizes, disable zoom, and more\n
so what’s going to happen to mobile WP in the future?\napps recreating the whole blogging experience, not only management but also reading blogs\nall themes will have to become responsive\n
a little shorter than I’d hoped for but I’d like to open it up to questions now\n
