In the current trend, almost one in four cell phone users access the Internet on their device and about one in six users does it frequently. This is the reason why mobile web browsing is predicted to become the next predominant Internet platform. Hence making your website Mobile-Friendly is more important.
Listed below are the few tips for designing a Mobile-Friendly Blog,
1. The first point you should consider is the sizing of the screens. The user would like to view the entire content of the page without having to scroll, and would wish to navigate between the various parts of the page and to interact with the UI very naturally. Some famous mobile phones uses resolutions as 128 × 160 pixels, 176 × 220 pixels, 240 × 320 pixels and 320 × 480 pixels where as the blog would be designed for industry-standard screen resolution – 1024×768. Hence you can use a single column design, which will work best across the variety of resolutions. Also you might need to consider touch-screen.
2. Secondly, you should concentrate on traffic and efficiency during page loads. Phones can't handle very large pages with more images etc. Mobile blogs generally display only one post per page which helps keep size down. If you write long posts and use more than three small images per post then look for a mobile blogging platform that can split large pages and resize or strip images. For maximum traffic and usability your site should support thematic consistency.
But the best way I would suggest is to use a service that creates a mobile site from your RSS feed. There are many sites which does this Mowser, FeedM8, Feed 2 Mobile, MoFuse etc.
