There are two types of people in this world: people who use WordPress and people who don’t. If you’re in the first group, you’re in luck. Andy Moore has released an updated WordPress Mobile plugin that allows readers to visit your site on a mobile phone or device with reduced browser capabilities.

The plugin is quite well-constructed and immediately senses an incoming mobile phone browser and acts accordingly. After installing it onto CrunchGear, I was able to browse the site on an emulated Symbian device. Best of all, you can add AdMob ads into the site automatically. Andy even takes a cut for himself, thereby saving us all the travails of sending him a check for such great programming work.

Refactoring a web page for mobile browsing is hard. This plugin makes it amazingly easy.
