iWPhoneSo as part of the site redesign, I found a plug-in that is supposed to convert the blog to something that can be read on an iPhone or an iPod touch, without having to make the iPhone theme the permanent one.

So I installed and activated the plug-in. The only problem is, I don’t have either an iPhone or touch on which to test it. However, I do have an Apple store close to where I work. So yesterday I headed down there for something else and remembered the plug-in. I loaded up the blog site in Safari and it worked perfectly! It even adapted automatically to the rotation of the screen.

I love when things just work and work as you would expect them too. Apple is one of the companies whose products just ‘work’ and now I can say that I consider WordPress in that same category.

The iPhone plug-in is called iWPhone and can be found here.
