Back in this post I mentioned I was running this blog on Blogger, for the last month or two I have been using Tumblr instead. After Blogger’s problems this week I am glad I made the switch.
My other site IncisiveGeek still runs on Blogger. I am going to keep the sites using different hosts, I frankly don’t trust the stability of any platform anymore.
diversify, diversify, diversify…
Last night I was playing around with this site design and really wanted to have a mobile version, after a quick Google search I found that if you go to the Blogger dashboard via draft.blogger.com instead of blogger.com you can turn on a beta feature to show a mobile version to iPhone and Android device’s.
The steps to enable are:
- go to draft.blogger.com
- click the ‘Settings’ link for you blog
- click the link ‘Email & Mobile’
- Under ‘Mobile Template (beta)’ select ‘Yes’ to show mobile template.
- Save settings and view with the mobile preview button or on a mobile device.
I was so close to looking into self hosting using Wordpress just so I could have a mobile version of this site, this find saved me a lot of work and monthly hosting fees.
