More and more people are connecting to the internet from mobile phones and so is the need for your blog to be mobile friendly increases.

There are various kinds of services which can make your blog more mobile friendly.Even though mobile traffic may contribute only small amount of traffic,the number of mobile internet surfers is steadily increasing,and so is its necessity.Here I am going to list some free services.

1.Reason to create a blog mobile homepage:

The present kind of layout is not suitable for mobiles and will take a lot of time to load the large size images.The navigation across the pages is also difficult.

Opera browser has created 'Operamini',which is mainly a mobile browser software.To promote the product,Opera allows users to see how a web page will look in the mobile browser.Any web page can be seen the way it looks in a mobile,using Operamini. A screen shot of how this blog will look in a mobile is,



As you can see,even the mobile version has large images which will increase the webpage loading time and will also make the navigation very much difficult in a mobile.

2.Creating blog mobile homepage:

I have found two good services which allows you to convert your blog to mobile version for free.

3.Mofuse.com

One is the highly cutomizable and monetizable mofuse.com.In mofuse.com,you can create your own home page for your blog with your own logo and with various font sizes and colours,with links to different posts.But,one hurdle which I am yet to cross is that,it doesn't leave spacing between two paragraphs and the entire post looks clustered due to that.

4.Feedm8.com

The second free service automatically converts your blog to mobile version and can also be monetized.It doesn't support any images.But,the mobile version looks clean and tidy.This blog in feedm8 will look like,and its mobile URL is

http://go.feedm8.com/dqgtnm

At the end of every post there will be a 'Share button',and you can e mail,twitter,or SMS the blog post.


Mobilize your blog under 10 seconds:

1.Go to http://www.feedm8.com/web/

2.Enter your URL there and press Enter.

3.Your mobile URL appears and you are done!

5.Provide SMS updates:(Powered by Google SMS Groups)

Unfortunately,this free service is at present only available in India.Providing short,crisp updates of your blog posts as SMS for your readers can be very useful.You can create your own SMS group for free from here.These SMS updates wil surely increase your blog's popularity.I have just now,created a SMS group for this blog to provide updates on my blog posts.You are welcome to subscribe :)
