Two popular things: Mobile Sites & Wordpress - how do we join them?
In this talk, I'll explain the difference between two popular mobile plugins, and I'll show you how to setup your own personal mobile theme so that it doesn't interfere with your regular theme.
It's great - both themes can be custom, and both themes get access to your WordPress post types.
If we have time, I'll do a brief intro on jQuery mobile and explain why you want to use this awesome framework on your mobile site.
We can also have a discussion about the future of different screen sizes and how this relates to a responsive website versus whether responsive sites are preferred to a custom mobile view.
