WAP pages

[sfowler]

Has anyone done any work on WAP pages? Now that Google has WAP search it perhaps time to think about it.

Never thought about it, but you are right, this is the time to start. You opened my eyes. Thanks for this posting.

I played with a couple yesterday: you will find them here: http://www.habmigern2003.info/backup/ They were just experiments to see how the coding works.

I looked at your samples, but unforutnately was not able to see them on my cell phone. Theoretically my phone is supposed to access web services, but something doesn't work with Sprint connection to the web. I will try it later.

I also looked at one tutorial for wml. The coding is not difficult, but I didn't find so far if it is possible to work with forms through wml. My idea is that my users would be able to read their mail from other members over their phones. It means that they have to log in and read dinamic pages. I wonder if I can do it using wml. It should be possible somehow (otherwise the whole idea of wml applications doesn't make sense), I just have to find a better tutorial.

I have used the second one and it is not bad.

I am going to take the time to learn to crawl before I go for the 4 minute mile! Dynamic content and the like can wait.

Hi Simon. I too will read up on it. Cheers

What we need is some information on rankings etc. There is a Google search function, but you are very limited in text content obviously. I don't have any kids at that age!

You are right. I should wait with the ideas about implementing new features. For the beginning I should try just to create a couple of static pages to play with the optimization and see how Google takes it.
