I am a Blackberry user.  In fact, this post started in an email to myself from my Blackberry while laying on the couch. 

Today I was home sick and firmly planted on the couch - Blackberry in hand.  The living room has the better TV,  but that’s for another post.  So when not napping, I was surfing Twitter and my Google Reader.

When are you people out there in the blogosphere going to get with it and make your blogs mobile ready?  Not every net ready gadget with a small screen can adjust for all the different blogs and websites out there. 

Even the New York Slimes has a mobile ready page.

There are several blogs I know not to go to with my Blackberry because their owners / creators don’t care about small screen readers.  

As the iPhone, Blackberry world expands why are blogs staying in the Windows 3.1 era and not making their blogs accessible by all - no matter the size of the browser?

Come on folks. Get with it!  I did a basic search in Google when I first went mobile to find the right plugin for my platform.   How many seconds do you think it would take Google to find something for your blogging platform?  (Wow, I went mobile with my blog in 2006 - Two years ago!!)

Do you like visitors?  How about those sitting in the doctor’s waiting room trying to ignore the kid beating out a samba on the chair next to them? (raises hand)  Or the person in the dentist chair trying to ignore the fact novocaine was mentioned in the last conversation? (raises hand)

Move folks — care about your readers!!!  For those using Wordpress, here is the link to the one I use.

Let me know when you’ve brought your blog into the 21st Century and I’ll swing by on the Blackberry when I’m in the doctor’s office again
