I got to know about this plugin few days back and I installed it on my blog. The plugin works great. Though the downside is due to adsense or any advertisement code , it make your blog look ugly in mobile. If you are not using any adsense code around your blog posts. This plugin will be very handy to get an extra edge from mobile internet users.
Hi,
I think the comment from Harsh is pretty spot on – it does make your blog look fairly ugly and you’re in danger of losing all of your brand identity by using MobilePress.
However, I’ve created a mobile plugin for WordPress that allows you to have an amazing looking blog that can mirror your website in terms of style and design, but uses the same domain and URL structure on mobile as you do on web.
If you fancy giving it a go it’d be great to hear your thoughts on it – the home page for the plugin can be found here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wapple-architect/
If you’ve got any questions or suggestions for new features, let me know and I’ll try and get them implemented as it’s always being worked on!
