			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thought I&#8217;d write something different this time. As more and more users access the net from their phones, it could be a good thing to design a version of the website that is suitable for mobile browsing.</p>
<p>Information abounds about how to adapt an existing site to mobiles like <a href="http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/archive/2005/07/make-your-site-mobile-friendly" target="_new205">Make Your Site Mobile-Friendly in Two Minutes</a>. This information is easy to find, and is a good step I guess.</p>
<p>On my to-do list currently, is a way of identifying visitors using mobile phones and redirecting them to the mobile version. Failing that, I can always put up a link to the mobile version.</p>
<p>Another thing I would like to do is rewrite my content so that it is brief &#8211; in the sense that it mentions the salient points of the subject and the length of the pages is short, links are better manages, etc.</p>
<p>Some tips I have made out for myself to design the site:</p>
<ul>
<li>Planning a simple site with no columns, css, javascript, images and other stuff that could delay loading or clutter the tiny screens.</li>
<li>Creating an edited version of the content to convey salient points &#8211; more information than entertainment.</li>
<li>Changing the link structure to remove alt tags and using immediately relevant links with some logical deeper links, rather than the bulk of deep links available on the original site.</li>
<li>I don&#8217;t use pop-ups at all, but going through the code in any case to look at links that open in new windows and stuff. I doubt if anyone is going to appreciate losing the page they were on.</li>
<li>Figuring out links to switch between the mobile and normal version.</li>
</ul>
