In an effort to make its blogs more visually pleasing on mobile platforms, WordPress released on Tuesday two themes that will be displayed automatically when a blog hosted on WordPress.com is accessible from smartphones and other mobile devices.

According to the company, two types of mobile themes are available, and the type of browser used will determine which theme will be shown.

According to the site CNET News, those who access blogs from iPhone or Android devices to see the site in the subject and can access WPtouch posts, pages and files, and get support for comments and posts based on AJAX. If there is image header, this will be scaled proportionally to the size of the screens. Users of other devices will not have many visual benefits, because the focus will load the content as quickly as possible.

The decision to display automatically adapted subjects was taken from the success of mobile devices, which are now responsible for about 60 million hits per month. Previously, the content was loaded slowly, and sometimes was not displayed completely. With the new measures from WordPress, these problems should be minimized.

To view the themes for mobile devices is standard, and can be disabled by users who do not want to see them. According to the site Mashable, this is a very interesting feature, and it’s unfortunate to be available only for blogs hosted on WordPress.com, as it would be something very useful to those who use the WordPress.org platform in their own accommodation.
