Is your WordPress blog iPhone-friendly?

With so many peo­ple brows­ing the Net on their iPhone (Google reports 50 times more searches from the iPhone than any other mobile plat­form), it’s time to start think­ing about what your blog looks like on the iPhone’s diminu­tive browser. And if you’ve ever tried to man­age your WordPress Admin from the iPhone, you know that it’s cum­ber­some at best. But here are two plu­g­ins that make your WordPress blog iPhone-friendly with a cou­ple of clicks.

The iWPhone WordPress Plugin and Theme (pic­tured above) auto­mat­i­cally detects an iPhone or iPod touch vis­i­tor and dis­plays a light­weight ver­sion of your site opti­mized for the iPhone’s 480-by-320-pixel screen. The theme sac­ri­fices your design for quick view­ing of the con­tent, but there’s noth­ing to stop you from cus­tomiz­ing it; it installs in the /themes folder like any other WordPress theme. Your reg­u­lar vis­i­tors will see your stan­dard design in all it’s glory.

Mobile Admin for iPhone (pic­tured below) makes a slimmed down ver­sion the most com­monly used sec­tions of your WordPress Admin more acces­si­ble from an iPhone or iPod touch.

Don’t have an iPhone or iPod touch? Don’t let that stop you from mak­ing your WordPress blog iPhone-friendly. Neither plu­gin requires any con­fig­u­ra­tion. You can always see what your site looks like to iVis­i­tors by pre­view­ing it in iPhoney.
