Blog linking - or mobile blog version



User: Ana F. 6 years ago
I do like that we have now the possibility to have a blog in our websites - it would be nice to have archive by year - I already wrote that request here and I hope it will be available soon :)
I do like to have all my site mobile friendly - what is really hard if it comes to the blog - even if I "recreate" the blog for mobile devices - that means every post on its own site... it is impossible to link just one post to the "mobile" version - that would be nice - link seperate blog-posts to site x but of course would it be so much better if the BLOG would be mobile friendly ...
sooooo, my request is a mobile friendly blog and until then the linking of each blog post to selected mobile versions

:)
have a nice day

You can create a fully responsive blog using widgets.

You can create redirects using code insertion.

somehow that did not work for me - do not ask me why - it redirects me to my beautiful 404.html

but I added a code to the main BLOG site:

<script type="text/java script" src="../ew_js/mobileRedirect.js"></script><script type="text/java script">redirectURL('/mobile/blog');</script><link rel="alternate" media="only screen and (max-width: 700px)" href="/mobile/blog" />


that code tells the browser to redirect to the mobile version of the site - fingerscrossed that it works...

Hello, I made a mobile blog version of my page.
I wanted a different view of the blog because on the desktop version I have the navigation located on the left side of the site and that would look so tiny and stupid on a mobile device...
I had some issues with linking the desktop blog to the mobile version (it looped somewhere, causing an error) so this is what I did:

I made a mobile blog
The dimensions of the Blog page:
Content Width 700
Content Heigh 800
The header is there only for the navigation 36
No Footer ( I would LOVE to have a footer - but somehow that made the blog posts "fall" down in the footer section what made the editing of the blog post a pure nightmare...
after having the blog and all Entries:
I linked the Desktop Blog to the mobile Blog like that:
In "Mobile Settings" section I selected the "External URL", here I added the URL of the mobile blog - no more problems with the linking and everything is showing correct...

with this settings above and the HTML code in the "Head Code" Section
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
- on the mobile sites -
this blog solution lets the customers on mobile or Tablet devices see and read the blog, the page can be rotated, ...
Everything I wanted - checked :)

WHY have a Blog on a mobile device - is that a good thing?
Well, customers who come to my page with a tablet sure wanna go and see the blog, it should be readable than, right...

Well, that is how I resolved that at the end...

Maybe that information helps some of you...
