WPtouch Theme Preview, WordPress on the iPhone
The good folks at Brave New Code, specifically Dale Mugford and Duane Storey (or “D Squared” as I have just this minute decided to call them) have been working on a theme for mobile viewing of your WordPress blog.
Coming this Wednesday WPtouch will be released to the world
Head to BraveNewCode to download and install like you would any other WP plugin
In your dashboard, edit the plugin by going to Options > WPtouch
Select which pages you’d like to be added to your menu
Chose an icon for each page or upload your own
Grab an iPhone or iPod Touch and check out how hot your blog looks to mobile users
Here’s how it works:
I’ve had a chance to poke around the beta version this evening, here’s a look at my site on the iPhone with WPtouch installed:
I have to say it’s pretty slick. Duane also got me to add a page called “Photos” which was then immediately populated with thumbnails of my recent Flickr photos. Keep an eye out for WPtouch this week and also check out Brave New Code cause these innovative guys are mighty good at what they do.
Update: Brave New Code just launched! WPtouch is now available for your mobile WordPressing pleasure!

Looks pretty neat. Would this be setup on a subdomain like wap.miss604.com or would miss604.com automatically look like that from an iPhone?

It automatically looks like that. Check out miss604.com or duanestorey.com — they are both live right now. If you don’t have an iphone, download the “iphoney” application for Mac.

I’d like to know when this out as well. I’m launching a new site this week and this would be a great plugin to have ready for the launch.

Duane: And how would a WinXP user go about doing this?

I’m not sure there are any iPhone simulators for Windows unfortunately.
