I wanted to share a thing I discovered. You can set your blog to 'crop itself' (for lack of a better description) to display on mobile devices. On Blogger, go to the Settings tab and click on Email & Mobile. Click 'yes' on the mobile thing.
Here is a preview of what mine looks like formatted for a mobile device ~

Why is it pink? Well, the template I chose for my blog is the pink Watermark one. Then I made changes to it in the advanced design thing (taking out the pink), but they obviously don't apply to the mobile thing. So that's kind of a bummer. There's a probably a way around that, but I'm not sharp enough to know what it is. Its not that important. If someone really really wants to read my blog on their phone, they'll just have to bear with the pink background.
I also tried the special 'email to a blog' thing that's on the same page, but couldn't get it to work. Maybe its only for sending from a mobile device? and not a regular email account? I don't know. Over my head.

Thanks, Paula.
I was almost there (I had updated).
Now I need to post something. I've been so
busy doing other things, I've missed most of June. Yikes!
Oh dear Paula, it is all over my head! I have just spent more time than I am willing to confess creating a fresh looking blog. Many things left out like networked blogs, thingee for sharing my post etc. Enough for now, my head is spinning. I like how on the mobile device your blog shows up as the basic templete, sheesh...so mine will be orange or something. At least not pink though! LOL
Hi Paula,
I just did what you said. We'll see if it works
