Guess we got so focused on recording shows that we never got around to making the MobileTechRoundup website “mobile device” friendly. Heh…that all changes today! If you direct your mobile device to the podcast homepage, it will automatically detect if you’re viewing it on a mobile browser. Instead of the all the full size glitz and glam, you’ll get a basic text view of the podcast site, along with a direct link to download the latest show.
Looking for a prior show? No problem! Just scroll down below the current post and you’ll see the last 10 posts and shows for your listening pleasure. We thought about making all of the prior shows available this way, but after some heavy duty thinking, we all agreed that nobody should have to listen to us more than 10 times in row. Actually, WE were pretty OK with it, but input from the wives and significant others indicate that we talk too much. Who knew? If you’d rather subscribe through iTunes, that’s OK too, the subscription link hasn’t changed.
A big shout out goes to Alex King for the awesome WordPress plugin that does all of the heavy lifting here. If you’ve got a WordPress blog and want to make it mobile, stop over at Alex’s site for the plugin.
