Yesterday I was playing around with the internet on my phone and of course I went and checked out my blog. It didn't appear the way that I wanted it to. So it got me thinking "Why do some blogs show up on my cell phone, but my blog doesn't?" and "How can I make my blog viewable to mobile users?" I came up with some really great resources and I am really excited to share them with you.

The first thing I found were two WordPress Plugins that allow you and your visitors to communicate with on another via SMS (Text)

The first one allows your visitors to get updates of your blog via SMS. – SMS Text Message

The second one allows your visitors to contact you through SMS (Text) – Quick SMS

I though these were really cool. I can't wait to add them to my blog and play around with them a little more and see what they do. (I will keep you posted of my findings).

So now on to the really cool stuff I found. I really think that making your wordpress blog viewable to mobile phone users will benefit you and your readers. Just think more readers can lead to more sales. Adding this feature to your blog will give you more exposure.

Here are the plugins you need to Make Your WordPress Visible To The Mobile World:

MOBILE PRESS – This plug-in allows your blog to be viewed on mobile devices. You can use customized themes. Track your mobile stats and send ads to your readers using their recommended services. Since this plug-in is SEO enabled and detects the major mobile search bots like Google, Yahoo and MSN. This feature allows your blog to be indexed in the mobile search results. This is a very popular plug-in due to the indexing by major search engines.

WORDPRESS MOBILE PACK – This complete toolkit allows your blog to adapt to the type of device viewing your site. Some of the other features this plug-in has are different mobile themes to choose from, extra widgets and it even has a mobile wordpress admin panel that gives the Admin of the blog the opportunity to edit the site and add posts when a computer isn't available.

WORDPRESS MOBILE EDITION – This plug-in allows your blog to be viewed by mobile phone users. Mobile Browsers are automatically detected. You can customize the mobile browser list.

WORDPRESS MOBILE ADMIN – I guess you could say I saved the best for last. WordPress Mobile Admin is a fully functional control panel for your WordPress Blog that works on any mobile device. This mobile plug-in has a ton of awesome features. Add new posts, post pictures and dictate where they appear on the post (How cool is that?), post, page, tag and category management, moderate comments and reply to them, user profile page including color schemes, support for gravatars and finally it will translate to any language supported by WordPress.

If you have used any of these plug-ins I would love to hear any feedback about them…please comment below..
