Why Blog4Mobile.com ?
During the last few months the mobile internet has been booming, more and more people are using the internet wherever they are. But most of the websites are formatted for high-res screens and are hardly readable on small mobile displays, even with the technical innovations of mobile browsers. Furthermore the data volume is often quite expensive, which can cause high costs on "heavy" websites.
Blog4Mobile.com avoids these complications and offers a free-of-charge-service for blog users, to adapt their web contents for cell phones.
But there are already RRS-Readers for cell phones, why should I use Blog4Mobile.com?
RSS-readers have a big disadvantage: They just read the contents of rss feed, which are often incomplete. So potential readers will just get an extract of the contents, which is quite uncomfortable to read. However, Blog4Mobile.com reads the entire content of a blog and not only the rss feed. In addition your mobile blog contents will be marketed centrally (if wished, when the betaphase is over). Blog users will receive a share of up to 70% of the advertising revenues.
How does Blog4Mobile.com work?
Usually, blogs are created/maintained with standard online software (nearly 95%) and it stores the content into a rss feed. Therefore, the rss feed or atom.xml are always up to date on your server.
To mobilize your own blog contents, just fill in the registration form with your Blog URL, your Feed URL and your email address.
Blog4Mobile.com imports the your contents to its own server and saves them locally. As a result you will receive a URL referring to the mobile version of your blog.
Example: http://mblogger.mobi/my_personal_blog
I entered the path of my rss file, but the system doesn't accept it. What's wrong?
In some cases, Blog4Mobile.com cannot read the rss files due to technical reasons. In that case, please use the contact form to tell us the path of your rss file. We will try to find a solution for this problem and it is also a good way to improve our system.
I created a mobile blog successfully, but unfortunately the content is incomplete or not very readable (problems with special characters, text cut off, etc).
Although Blog4Mobile.com's Contentgrabber Technology uses rss feeds as well as the content of the blog itself to create the mobile version, it is sometimes possible that contents will not be captured entirely (in their entirety). In such cases it is useful to access the service of feedburner.com, which formats your blog contents consistently and in its entirety, and finally provides you several analysis tools for your regular blog feed. Then you will receive a new URL for your feed, such as: http://feeds.feedburner.com/your_blog , which you just enter at Blog4Mobile.com.

If you host your blog on your own server with an own domain, you'll usually find the rss feeds in the root directory of your web server.
