Your site looks good on the iPhone
12 months ago I installed a plugin to Fruit Bytes which reformatted it for better viewing on the iPhone and iPod touch. Because there was no option to view the regular site it was unpopular with many and removed soon after. Now with a new plugin we have the best of both worlds.
WPtouch by BraveNewCode is a theme installed as a plugin on your WordPress blog or website that will format your content with this Apple-inspired, full-featured theme when your visitors are using an iPhone or iPod touch. If people don’t like viewing your site that way then there’s an option in the footer on WPtouch so that visitors can easily switch between the WPtouch view and your site’s regular appearance. Everyone’s happy!
To get your Wordpress site looking good on the iPhone, download the plugin then upload the ‘wptouch’ folder to the ‘wp-content/plugins’ directory on your server. Next simply visit your WordPress admin panel in your web browser and navigate to the ‘Plugins’ tab, and activate the WPtouch plugin.
Go on, check out Fruit Bytes on your iPhone/iPod touch.

New Design

Since Fruit Bytes is almost 3 years old, I decided to give the site a fresh lick of paint. The old theme was feeling dated and didn’t support many of the features available in the newest versions of Wordpress.
Hope you like the new look
Beautify your WordPress Admin Panel

I’m guessing that there are a lot of Mac OS X Leopard users visiting Fruit Bytes and you may even have a WordPress blog of your own. How cool would it be to have a Leopard style WP Admin Panel to replace the default one which is, well, a little bit bland and boring shall we
