Opera Mini : The mobile browser

Do you browse the web using mobile phone ? Are you a newbie in this area looking for a good mobile browser ? Opera Mini is the best option for you.

  • It looks good
  • Works Fast
  • It’s free

    Opermini re sizes the websites to fit on the screen and when we can navigate the page, and zoom wherever we want to see things in the actual size.

    The Opera Mini experience has been fabulous so far. I tried accessing my gmail, orkut, webmail for this domain ( Google Apps ), This blog itself, and finally the wordpress admin page too !!

    What is the best way to publish this post ?

    We have a situation here. We are dealing with double digit inflation, high cost of living, less jobs and a lot more. We tend to concentrate on Why, or rather whom to blame and not How to bring things back to normal.

    This election is different. We need someone different

    Speed up !!

    Speed up !! What’s that ?

    Well, I asked the same question when I saw this “speed up” on the top right hand side of my admin page for Wordpress 2.6 Beta 1.

    WordPress 2.6 and Google Gears helps speed things up while blogging

    Okay, I see Google Gears. That gives some clue about this “speed up”. If you do not know what Google Gears is,

    Google Gears is an open source browser extension that lets developers create web applications that can run offline. Gears provides three key features: Read more here

    Luckily, I had Google Gears enabled on my Laptop, so the process was easy. I clicked and  enabled Google Gears for Wordpress. What will happen to Wordpress If I enable it ? Need to check that out !!. Stay tuned for that information.

    Theme Updates

    Now, something about this theme and blog. I removed the flickr part on the footer of the blog. Added tags to each post. Now, I need to make this theme Gravatar compatible. I am yet to finish the about me page and yes, the header image is still blank. Is it annoying guys ?. I am not a good designer, so you will have to wait until I do something about it !! Any new comments or suggestions about the theme ?
