Blogs on the Go

If you catch the bus or train to and from work you might have noticed the amount of people using hand held devices.  It's usually a boring trip to work so it's a good time to check out the web. With that in mind, is your blog set up to be viewed on hand held devices? 

Setting your blog up to be mobile friendly will ensure that the content is viewed easily.  If you use Blogger simply to go Settings/Email & Mobile/Mobile Template. It just a matter of a quick click and hey presto - your blog is mobile!
