It takes just a few seconds and you'll see a great looking blog turned mobile using some of the most cutting-edge mobile internet technology in the world today. Plus once you've mobilized (or made mobile friendly) your blog, you can customise it with your colours, branding and so on. And then theres the option to generate revenue through advertising. This is because the Mippin Mobilized blog then becomes part of a much wider Mippin community of content, people, news, video, directory listings, blogs, shopping, and much, much more...all within the mobile site http://mippin.com which mobile users navigate to on their mobile browsers. Give it a go. Mu mum's a more traditional, non-digital librarian and even she's using it!
