Hello Everyone,

Do you wish your favorite websites had a mobile friendly version that you could use on your mobile phone? 

Even though mobile devices are outnumbering computers and are able to browse the web, many websites do not have a mobile friendly version available. 

Viewing a standard resolution, graphics-heavy site on your mobile phone is often not a satisfying experience as it will most likely take a very long time to download, display, and navigate.

Luckily, there is a free online utility that can convert a standard website into a mobile friendly version without the website owner having to do anything to the site.

Thus, until your favorites sites have been updated so as to automatically detect a mobile phone connection that will signal the site to beam over a mobile optimized version, you may use a rather nifty service from Google to convert the site for you.

Do I have your attention yet?  (Smile)

For some strange reason, Google does not advertise this service even though it has been available for quite some time.  Believe it or not, this service does not have an official name.

Nevertheless, it works well and makes any website mobile friendly in seconds; even those that would not normally work on mobile phones with or without screen reading software.

Please note that the following steps apply to both Desktop computers and mobile Smart Phones:

1.
From within your web browser, go to:
http://www.google.com/gwt/n

2.
In the edit field, enter the URL of the website you wish to convert.  Please note that “http://” will already be inserted in the edit field for you.

3.
Click the “Go” button.  Please note that just to the right or below the “Go” button is a checkbox labeled “No Images”.  Check this box if you wish all graphics to be stripped from the converted version of the site.

Congratulations, you now have a mobile-optimized version of the site!

Enjoy,

Mark
