MoFuse Blog http://blog.mofuse.com The Official News Source of MoFuse. Wed, 07 May 2008 22:48:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 en New MoFuse Homepage! http://feeds.mofuse.com/~r/mofuse/~3/285678704/ http://blog.mofuse.com/2008/05/07/new-mofuse-homepage/#comments Wed, 07 May 2008 22:48:20 +0000 David http://blog.mofuse.com/2008/05/07/new-mofuse-homepage/ We’ve been redesigning the MoFuse homepage for a little bit now. We’ve changed the whole process of how a user comes to us and creates a mobile site. If you are familiar with MoFuse Grow you’ll notice that we’ve taken that functionality and integrated it into the new homepage.

This really makes it as simple as possible to come to MoFuse and create a mobile version of your blog or website. Before the new homepage there were a number of steps a new visitor had to take to create a mobile site. They had to first come to MoFuse, create an account and then create the mobile site.

Why make them go through that extra step when the account and mobile site creation can happen simultaneously?

We hope you all like the new homepage. We would love to hear your feedback on it so feel free to leave a comment or send me a message!

You might notice an ad on your mobile site even if you didn’t signup for our revenue sharing program. This is temporary and sorry for the inconvenience.

They behave in the same way as their traditional text links but they’re image ads formated for the mobile device.

We just implemented this into MoFuse, for those of you who are enrolled in our revenue sharing program. This means that if there is a suitable banner ad, that ad will be displayed. If Google cannot find a good enough banner ad the standard text link ads will appear.

This feature will show you the top 10 mobile devices that have accessed your mobile site for the selected month. Along with showing you the brand and model of the device, we’re also showing you what percentage of your mobile traffic came from that device.

MoStats Top Mobile Devices MoFuse

This will make some analytic-driven people very excited, and it’s very useful information!

Enjoy!

It’s located at http://m.readburner.com and it’s powered by MoFuse.

They really created a great mobile site that is both elegant and useful! Check them out!

That’s because we recently just made some very minor changes that make your mobile site display a little better by tweaking some very minor things like font size and the size of your header logos.

It’s the little things that make it better…

If you use a logo on your mobile site you can now change the alignment of it from left, center or right. Such a subtle feature that can make a huge difference.

We’ve also revamped our Support structure. You might notice a new link on your dashboard titled Messages. This is where you will receive updates from the MoFuse team as well as replies to your support requests.

This will help us better serve you guys. The old email system wasn’t hacking it anymore, we needed more accountability to you the users and I think this is a great step in that direction!

We have been working on it as part of the server move we just went through and I’m happy to say that it is back up and running!

If you’re using an RSS feed at the very bottom we added some Navigation links. From each post your readers can directly navigate to the previous or next post without having to go back to the menu. This makes navigating your mobile site a lot easier.

We also fixed some minor bugs and some subtle changes:

  • On basic accounts, the link to your iPhone enabled mobile site was not directing you to the right URL for the iPhone preview.
  • After making a change to your mobile sit you are now redirected to your mobile sites dashboard to help indicate that your change was saved.
  • Fixed some minor bugs with MoFuse Grow, our one-click mobile site builder.
  • Click2Call and Comments widget was not showing up on mobile sites that had no other content.
  • Various small bugs that we found during the server move.

All that being said, we have some really big plans for MoFuse and it’s definitely an exciting time. We got some great features in the works that are going to make you, the mobile publishers, and your mobile visitors extremely happy!
I also haven’t posted a Weekly Roundup of new mobile sites in a long time — been really busy but I hope to bring that back in the near future!

We encounted an unexpected delay with the propagation of the DNS to the new servers so we were down for much longer than we had originally expected, and for that we apologize.

If you notice any problems, kinks or quirks don’t hesitate to drop us a line!
