RalphvandenBerg.com Mobile Version
Posted by: Ralph van den Berg (7 April, 2010)
The current design may be nice in a fully fledged desktop browser (dependent on your opinion, of course) but it doesn't work so well on mobile devices with small screens. Now with my personal acquisition of one such mobile devices I've been moved to develop a mobile friendly version of RalphvandenBerg.com, or at least the Ramblings and comments part. Simply navigate your mobile browser to ralphvandenberg.com/mobile for a stripped down version optimized for smaller screens and fat finger touches.
You can have a look at with your browser but it will look bad because of the huge fonts. This is so you won't have to do (barely) any zooming on your mobile device. I've designed it with the Nexus One in mind so somebody please check it out with an iPod Touch or iPhone and let me know how it looks. Logged in users can also comment on the Ramblings as you would on the regular version of this site- so maybe just this once, append your comment with the device you're using if it's something other than your desktop computer.
So, that's the end of this announcement. Thanks for reading and I hope the mobile version of this site is as useful for you as it is for me.

Posted on 8 April, 2010It looks great on the iphone/ipod (320x480) and Sony Ericsson Xperia x10 (480x854). As expected, the text is huge on the iPad (1024x768) - however, this doesn't matter since it displays your regular website beautifully.

Posted on 28 May, 2010So, I've managed to improve the mobile version by "borrowing" some Meta tags from the BBC's mobile site. No more zoom issues I hope.

Posted on 2 July, 2010I have made some updates regarding the way pages load. Now there shouldn't be anymore issues with using the "back" button.

"But this is a great place to have that list! Think about the comments being an extension to the actual Rambling!"
