The MobilePress plugin renders your WordPress blog on mobile handsets,
with customized mobile themes, analytics, and ad serving.

== Description ==

MobilePress is a WordPress plugin that will render your WordPress blog
on mobile handsets, with the ability to use customized themes. Built
into MobilePress are the capabilities to track your mobile sites'
analytics and serve ads with [Aduity.com](http://aduity.com/).

Integration with [Aduity.com](http://aduity.com/) enables you to serve
ads from some of the biggest mobile ad networks such as Admob, Quattro
Wireless, Buzzcity, and InMobi. You can also serve your own managed ads.
You will also be able to track your visitors' every move with Aduity
analytics.

The plugin allows WordPress theme developers to create custom mobile
themes for MobilePress-enabled blogs. Theme designers can create
specific iPhone themes or generic mobile themes for other mobile
devices.

MobilePress is SEO-enabled and detects Google, Yahoo!, and MSN mobile
search bots. These mobile search engine bots will see the mobile version
of your blog and add your mobile site to their mobile search results.

For more information and a full set of docs, please visit the official
MobilePress website at [MobilePress.co.za](http://mobilepress.co.za/).

== Installation ==

Upgrading or installing MobilePress for the first time is very simple.
There are just a few easy steps below for you to follow. Let's go!

= Important Note About Auto-Upgrading =

If you are using the WordPress plugin auto-updater you will need to back
up your themes folder (if you have made custom changes to the default
MobilePress themes!). If you have not made changes to the themes or if
you have not uploaded your own custom themes, you do not have to worry.

The reason for backing up your themes is when the WordPress auto-updater
upgrades the plugins, it removes all the files in the MobilePress
directory, thus removing any custom changes you have made to the
MobilePress themes and any custom themes you have uploaded.

= For Upgrading Manually =

If you are upgrading MobilePress, delete all your old MobilePress files
from the plugin directory. If you have a custom theme or have modified
the default theme, you do not have to delete the `/themes` folder.

= Installation Steps =

1. Unpack the ZIP archive if you haven't already done so
1. Upload the `mobilepress` directory to your `/wp-content/plugins/`
   directory
1. Activate the plugin through the "Plugins" menu in WordPress
1. If you are using a caching plugin (e.g. wp-supercache), clear your
   cache now
1. If you plan on using custom themes, or wish to specify a custom
   title/description for your mobile blog, you can set these in the
   MobilePress admin panel

That's all folks! You're now good to go!

== Config & Settings ==

Once MobilePress is installed, you will be presented with a few options.

= Blog Title =

Changing this will replace the title of your blog when being viewed on
a mobile device.  So, instead of "My cool blog", you could replace it
with something like "My mobile blog". (This will not affect your site
when being viewed on a regular web browser.)

= Blog Description =

This is the same as changing your blog title, but will modify your
blog's description instead.

= Force Mobile Site =

This option will force your site to be rendered as mobile, regardless
of where it is being viewed from. Regular web browsers will see the
mobile version. (It's handy for testing.)
