A lot of bloggers over look their mobile visitors or just don’t know how to make their blog mobile ready. It’s always important to put your visitors first. On my other blog, last month I got over 400 visits from mobile users. Who wouldn’t want 400 extra visits a month?
How To Make Your Blog Mobile Ready?
Making your blog mobile ready is a lot easier than you think. First you do not need to change anything on your blog. This is a simple 1, 2, 3, and your done type of deal. First you need to sign up to mofuse. OK, now that you are signed up and logged in, I am going to go through the steps one by one.
Step 1) Click on “Launch a Mobile Site” Go through the steps to launch your mobile site.
Mine is http://deneilmerritt.mofuse.mobi
Step 2) Click on “Custom Domain” Fill in the custom domain you want for the mobile site. Example; m.yourdomain.com or mobile.yourdomain.com
It really doesn’t matter either way it’s all up to you & the way you want it. For mine I went with http://mobile.deneilmerritt.com
Step 3) Log into your “cpanel” and click on “subdomain” Set up the custom domain you place in mofuse. Redirect the subdomain to the link they provide you.
Step 4) Add the mobile link anyway on your blog.
Bonus Step 1) If you would like to earn some money through google adsense from your mobile visitors. Click on “Monetize!” Add your google adsense publisher id with the “pub-“
Bonus Step 2) If you like me then you care about branding. Click on “Your Logo” Upload your blog logo. Your mobile visitors will see your logo as a header in their mobile phones.
See that is pretty simple and take less than 2 minutes. (Take less than 5 minutes with a really slow computer)
Now that my blog is mobile ready, head over to Deneil Merritt mobile site to see how it would look on a phone. If you have your phone on you and feel like checking out how my blog look in a mobile phone than SMS yourself below.

Hi there,
I see you have made your site mobile now, good to see. I will probably have to change mine to be mobile.serradinho.com
Good luck, would love to know what your stats are for this site. Over 400 visits on your other blog, thats really good
I finally stop being lazy about it. Yeah, using a sub-domain for your mobile site is better for branding.
Thank you, since this blog is new I doubt it will be as high as the other blog.
This is pretty interesting! I should look at making seomkt viewable from a mobile!
Yours sort of looks like an rss feed
I switch sites to provide my mobile version. I am waiting on a logo for the header to customize the mobile version. I have a blog post coming that will explain why I switch and who I switch to.
Deneil would it not be easier to simply find a theme that is mobile friendly?
I guess maybe you can answer that in that blog post you speak about!
Well this theme does things I have never seen done and really enjoy it. I won’t change this theme until I buy a custom theme, which most likely I will pay the developer of this theme to do it.
No I won’t be talking about it in that post. The post is already written and set to go. I rarely write a blog post and post it in the same day. I am normally half a week to a week ahead in posts. Reason for this is I have so much to do with other sites, writing on 2 ebooks, and a membership site. (One of those ebooks will be free)
