Wordpress and similar blog software can have them going in and going out via a program called 'magpie rss' which you install on the server along with the blog. There are a couple of others which make rss feeds into posts on the main page as well.

If you want a site that has no rss functionality then you can create them manually although they won't change content unless you physically update the feed, which isn't too much work since its all text. Something along these lines http://www.devx.com/xml/Article/10790

Ok thanks very much for your reply, I read some of that page and it's a bit too much for my foggy brain to compute right now. Hopefully later I'll understand it better.

Most welcome and if you get stuck give me a shout. The tags are just like html where there is an open and close tag for each line. Good luck

As for the how games can be XHTML served up question, they can be served up easily, and streamed with Java.Java would also be a good alternative to using RSS feeds for a chat room/live board.

ezinaz · 01-08-2007, 02:51 PM

I'm getting an error on the Mobi Emulator when pointing it at a simple ASP.NET page:

HTTP-specified character encoding caused WML parse failure: utf-8: http://mobster.mobi/hello.aspx

Link to the emulator: http://emulator.mtld.mobi/emulator.p...&Submit=Update

Here is the code:

Any ideas of how to fix this?

Thanks in advance...

i have 2 questions:

is wap in any way superior to xhtml ?
can it do things that xhtml can't (is it worth learning)

my html skills are 1.5 on a scale of 10, meaning i can look at page source and understand most of it)

second, do i understand right that any good html software would be acceptable as long as i can change the header and then validate and fix erros for mobi compliance?

i found this site http://www.mobisitegalore.com/#, anybody try it or have any opinions?

thanks all

I wouldn't create any pages larger the 125-150px wide unless you are using dynamic device detection based on the user_agent and still its not 100% reliable.

And max. data load should be 10k or less. Most mobile plans that say unlimted browsing still limit the max data transfer to 500k a day (50 Pages.)

Take a look at 4x4mobile, and You will understand a few things.
Anyway, .mobi is too long and is considered by me to be a deadborn child.
Unless the SLD is very short.
3-char. (.com, .net, etc.) and 2-char. (.tv, .cc, .tc, .be, etc.) shall stay.
Most domain traders and appraisers seem to not know it, but cell phone users do:
Type-in length/time is SLD + dot + TLD and not just SLD.
That's important for phone users, not the extension.
But we can agree or disagree on this.

as you know the mobi tld has mandated second level domain siting to eliminate the need to type www

with browser defaults which i am more certain are going to be implemented, the user merely types hamburger into the address bar and he goes immediately to hamburger.mobi

Is anyone using Wurfl at all ? I am trying to find a list of http user agents with screen sizes only. Is there one about anywhere ?

dochlaggie · 02-05-2007, 05:35 PM

Help. I am trying to put up some mobi sites.

I used the mobi templates and have tried to put a site up on dees.mobi.

What am I doing wrong ? My browsers do not pick up the index.xhtml file??

I edited the templates in Dreamweaver.

Thanks in advance.

I'm just getting familiar with it. What are you thoughts then ? Something that can deliver device specific content might be a good thing ?

Appologies if this has been posted before... In the future I would like to serve up a mobi compliant site to mobiles and a full blown site to users on a PC. What would I need to do? Also, the languages going to be used are asp and vbscript. Will these scripts if run server side, still produce the results I would like to display on a mobile. Ex. search function. Someone searches for something on my mobile site, that data is passed to my asp search page and then sent back to the mobile? Am I going to run into a one way dead street?... Am I trying to staple jello to a tree?
