TechnoGeek John asked:

Dear Chassy Cat,
I want to make my web site iPhone friendly so it loads quicker. I’ve seen other sites that have done it, but I don’t know how to do it. Do I need to change my whole template? What do I do? Thanks!

It happens that I have just RECENTLY made my TechnoGeekery and blog sites iPhone (and iTouch) friendly! WOW. What a crazy random happenstance! My tool of choice was a wordpress plugin–WPtouch– which automatically transforms your WordPress blog into what the creators at BrandNewCode.com describe as “an iPhone application-like experience when viewed from an iPhone or iPod touch.” There are effects! And Ajax! And a cool menu feature that includes access to search, categories, tags, blogrolls, archives, feeds, photos, and more. But I need to save SOME information for the video, or why would you watch the episode?! For my sparkling wit and awesome personality? My spectacular singing? My vast knowledge? My humility? I’m only saying.

To illustrate:

(Please note: This plugin is for self-hosted WordPress users. Sorry WordPress.com peeps. But if you ask super nicely, I may be persuaded to share how to set up your very own self-hosted WordPress blog, if you are willing to spend the time, and the money for server space.)

So there you are, John. The WPTouch plugin. No need to thank me. It was my pleasure.

TechnoGeek Jason asked:

Chassy Cat,
What is the best advice you can give someone new to writing a blog? If this question is too simple, feel free to ratchet up the difficulty by putting your answer into the form of a song in your vidcast.

Well, I did address this topic in my very first episode: TG #1: Blog Basics and Beginnings. But, since Jason asked so NICELY, I do have some blog DON’Ts to share…

So blame Jason, everyone. This is all his fault.

Now excuse me. I need to go call everyone I know.

Two words: Don’t. Do It.

I meant three words. Obviously.

(Seriously. People– and by “people” I mean ME– will click right on out of your site if anything automatically blinks, talks, or sings with absolutely no warning whatsoever. NOT. KIDDING. Don’t risk it, that’s all I’m saying.)

Do you enjoy listening to digital music in your car, but are absolutely fed up with the quality of sound you get via your wireless iPod–or other portable music player–car stereo adapter? Are you still in sticker-shock after pricing the newest wireless car stereo adapters at $80 and higher? Are you all about finding a cheaper option? Oooh! And… are you still in love with the 80′s?

Yes?

Cool. Then this episode of TechnoGeekery is just for you.
