Gadget Nerd started re-posting a few days ago and it dawned on me that I hadn’t bothered to setup a mobile version of the site. I pondered over how to do this for some time, should I create an m.gadget-nerd.co.uk site, use a plugin such as WPtouch, or go about creating a new stylesheet and using some PHP/HTML/JavaScript magic.

The path I decided to go with was the last one, create a new stylesheet and use some PHP/HTML/JavaScript magic. I chose this method over the others for a few reasons.

Creating a separate mobile site would have been a pain in the backside, so that option went out of the window pretty quickly. I would have still had to make a mobile stylesheet for it anyhow. Using a plugin would have been the easy option, but I wouldn’t have learned anything from doing it that way.

So, soon the website will have it’s very own mobile WordPress Stylesheet. I’ll keep you all posted, and will probably have a post for when it goes live… Then I’ll tackle the IE version.
