Mobile Blogs are a recent phenomena, they are more of a preview of the Blog in question. Sometimes, its sheer convenience to be able to access your favorite blog on your mobile while you commute back home. Its an added advantage for the readers and also extends your blog to a large number of viewers who may not have access to computers or perhaps in desperate times when internet is not working 
Yesterday, I set out to make my own Mobile Blog.
If you have self-hosted blog like on WordPress or Blogger Custom domains, you can easily setup the mobile edition of your site on a subdomain (e.g. m.CallingAllGeeks.org) – it is short and your users can easily guess the URL since almost all popular sites now follow the m.convention.
You have to create a free account at mofuse.com and they’ll give a personal mobile website with a .mobi address – something like http://CallingAllGeeks.mofuse.mobi/ , you have to redirect it to m.yourblog.org by editing the CName records on your server.
Once thats done, you have your blog set up in less then 5 minustes. You can even add other pages to your homepage and even a Call link through which readers can call you from their phone! Cool huh?
Head your Mobile browser to m.callingallgeeks.org for a live preview. Also, even if you point to callingallgeeks.org on your handset you’ll automatically be redirected the the mobile version! Now thats Geeky!

This is very cool and easy but I think there is one more better way to do it..using feeds..Though I’m not sure but I think labnol used that way.. Will let you know once I will find out..
meanwhile you can also use iPhone WP plugin to make your blog iPhone friendly
Yah I saw your mobile blog and I love the look ..
I will test it on my mobile and see the flexibility….
Meanwhile only thing which concern me is Duplicate post issue…so will have a look around for the same and then I will go for it
meanwhile thanks for the post my friend.
Yup, Google Reader can be used for the same purpose but I liked Mofuse as it gives more in terms of flexibility and customization. You can add more pages, even your own ones specially for the MBlog. Then the call feature, It also lets you monitise it using Google Adsense.
So, Mofuse wins hands down.
The duplicate post is due to Windows Live Writer. I’d earlier mentioned WLW issue I was facing and it had been sorted out but I guess it has got a few more tricks up its sleeve! I’ve deleted the duplicate one…
