I can’t get to sleep, and there’s still a while left before Paranoia Agent comes on. So of course the only logical thing to do is hack around with some WordPress WAP goodness. The plugin worked out quite well to get a basic version of WML content up and going quickly. I’ll have to play around with it some.
I’ve been thinking a bit about making blogs mobile accessable. The plugin is great as long as someone is running WordPress. But another level to aim at is the RSS/Atom output. Phonifier takes RSS and Atom feeds and outputs them in very simple XHTML for use on phones. It would be nice to have the same kind of thing with WML output instead. Maybe I’ll add that into my transcoder.
This is self serving of course. We would love to make mobile versions of blog content so that we can get AdMob ads on there. So of course there has to be an easy way for the owner of the blog to set that up. If they install their own plugin they can just copy the normal publisher code in there. But if we go with some kinda transcoder style tool I assume we should do something like run it at AdMob for the publishers. Like we provide the Mobpages for advertisers. Just thinking out loud here, I’ll have to play around some. Ping me if you’re interested or have any particularly strong feelings one way or the other about potential solutions.
