PadPressed- Make Your Wordpress Blog Look Like an iPad App
This is quite cool… a plugin for WordPress which makes your blog Ipad friendly (ie allows users visiting on an Ipad to turn the page by swiping rather than having to click).
A few downsides.. firstly you have to pay for it (not too expensive at $49.99).
Secondly, despite it’s claim to ‘work with your existing theme’, in reality it provides you with 4 new theme options to choose from which bear no resemblance to your existing theme. So in essence, one theme for web, another for Ipad.
Finally, it doesn’t play at all well with pages, so if you’re using WordPress more as a CMS than a blog (which I do on several sites) and have a static page for your homepage, it doesn’t work (at least, i’ve not yet managed it).
That said it’s easy to install and configure for a traditional layout blog, so I can see a lot of people using it as blog bling.
I’ve installed the plugin on this site, so if you have an Ipad, fire it up and visit the site using that to see what the experience is like.
