I can be good but I have a question . If you use this plugin for you mobile phone reader then what about desktop reader . Will if effect you blog view for computers ?
No, it won’t. The purpose of this plugin is to make blog viewable on iPhone without affecting its desktop view.
This is definitely useful, I didn’t think of how convenient it would be for people to view my blog on their iphones…Nice.
awesome..very useful…thanks for share!!
Thanks but this is not a real iPhone app. This widget allows Wordpress user to create a mobile version of their blog (a web application). And this is very different from a regular application that can be downloaded from the store (market place) of Apple.
I think, probably you didn’t get it right. This is a post about a wordpress plugin (WPTouch) and not about an iPhone app itself.
