“On the Road” is now mobile.
UPDATE: My first experiment with coding sites for the iPhone has only served to show me how much I really need to learn about writing HTML and CSS. I’m afraid what looked okay in the iphone simulator on my Mac looks pretty bad on an actual iPhone. That’s what I get for publishing without really testing. Live and learn. I’m still new at this stuff.
After spending several hours trying to fix the problem I’m afraid I’ve run out of time and come to the decision that the whole theme should be rewritten which I don’t have time to do. Perhaps someday.
For now I’m simply pulling the mobile version of the theme. Perhaps someday I’ll try to work it out. I apologize to anyone who installed the changes. You should be able to undo them by simply deleting the custom page named “iphone-theme” that was created.
The title of this post makes me happy.
I just created a mobile version of this theme for all of you who want it. The ability to have your blog look different when visited from a mobile device like an iPhone or iPod Touch is still a pretty new feature to tumblr (about a day old as I type this) so there are a few limitations. For instance, if you alter the default colors of your theme using tumblrs “Customize” page those changes will not be reflected in the mobile version of your blog. Sorry, I don’t see any way to fix this right now with the tools tumblr has set up.
Here’s how you install the moible theme:
1. Go to this page and copy all of the text there.
2. Click this link to get to the customize page of your blog.
3. Click on the pages tab and sellect “add a page”
4. Change the page type to “Custom Layout”
5. Add the words iphone-theme to the end of the page URL
6. Paste the code from step 1 into the “Custom HTML” section.
7. Click “Save Page”
Your done!
This is whole mobile version of your site thing is still a pretty new feature to tumblr (about a day old as I type this) so there are a few limitations. For instance, if you alter the default colors of your theme using tumblrs “customize” page those changes will not be reflected in the mobile version of your blog. Sorry, I don’t see any way to fix this right now with the tools tumblr has set up. If this changes I’ll see what I can do.
Other than that, if you see anything that looks funky let me know and I’ll try and work it out.
