I most definitely agree. Given that mobile phones are outrunning PCs and laptops in terms of sales and given that mobile phones nowadays are becoming smarter and smarter, it’s only a matter of time before websites not optimized for phone use get left in the sidelines.

Great insights here, Herbert. Having a mobile version of your site is more important now than ever. We live now in a society that has become even more mobile than it was 5 years ago. I personally do more surfing on my iPad than here on my laptop. It’s definitely one of my projects that I intend to complete within the next three months (work schedule permitting).

Hey Herbert,
Great information and I know how important this is. Unfortunately for me, I can’t view my blog on my mobile phone because I still just have the very basics. Yeah, I’m not a big cell phone user but I know everyone else is.
So I’ve gotten the plug-in that is suppose to make my blog look better and some of my friends have told me that it does but I confess, that’s all I’ve done. Shame on me right!
I know this is something I really need to do. I just haven’t thought about it since I don’t access my blog this way so thank you for this reminder. Great info here.
Enjoy your week now.

I believe that you’ve stressed out the basics yet significant points. I actually hope for quick loading time and interactive (minus the flashy stuff that just suddenly pops out from the screen), and have been getting a good response from several sites that I open from my phone.
