To iPad or not to iPad?

I have pretty much estab­lished myself as an anti ‘i’-product per­son. Whilst I recog­nise they are beau­ti­ful, work straight out of the box and have brought joy (and smug­ness) to mil­lions, they are not for me. I like a prod­uct that I can tin­ker with, basi­cally an item that I can make my own.

I don’t own an iPhone (I’ve got a Motorola Flipout – Android based) or an iPod (I use my phone) or an Mac­Book (I have a HP lap­top, which has been tweaked to be super­fast for my gam­ing / retouch­ing use) or an iPad (I’ve got a Kin­dle).

Testing MobilePress on the B1 Blog

We’re con­stantly look­ing for ways to improve our vis­i­tors’ expe­ri­ence and have recently made a few small tweaks to the B1 Blog which we hope you’ll like.

First, we’ve added a ‘related posts’ sec­tion to the bot­tom of every post (using YARPP). It’s incred­i­bly easy to install and use and depend­ing on the weight­ings you choose, can tighten or widen the net as necessary.

Sec­ondly, we’ve added a ‘Tweet’ and ‘Like’ but­ton to the top of each post as we felt that the but­tons on the left-hand side­bar were per­haps not promi­nent enough. What do you think?
