So I’m stuck here at O’Hare—my 11:30am flight was cancelled, and I’m hoping the 1:30 will still go out. (The first one was a mechanical problem, but Gerald says the weather is getting worse in Rochester, so a later flight is a bit of a gamble.)
Can’t find a wifi hotspot here, so I’m using my handy Sidekick phone. Figured I’d read some blogs, get caught up with online goings-on.
I’d forgotten, however, how sidekick-unfriendly many blogs are. Some ways you can help us hapless mobile readers:
1) Don’t use margin-left to position your blog content. The sidekick honors this (unlike positioning) and your blog ends up being a one-word-wide column of words. Many MT and typepad default templates do this. Dorothea’s site does, too.
2) Don’t put the div with your sidebar content above the div with your contnent…this forces us to scrollllllllll forever, which is a PITA using this tiny scoll wheel. Major offenders on my blogroll include Halley Suitt and Joey DeVilla.
3) don’t put your comment in a javascript popup, if possible. Link the comments to the comments section of your permanent entry, and then use a named anchor to jump to that part of the page. (Shelley Powers and Joey DeVilla both link to the entry page, but neither one has a comments anchor, so I have to do that long scroll again.)
Of course, you’re under no obligation to do any of those things…but it sure would be appreciated if you did.
