David Mugo: Africa and WordPress, Mobile Themes and Wp Mobile Apps
This is a very important session as it talks about ensuring that the intended readers are actually able to read your blog. It is said that 76% of African internet traffic is via mobile. Before you wipe that smile off your face thinking about how you read your blog via a smartphone, only 27% of the mobile internet users are smartphones. 27% How does this translate? Feature phones, wap phones. How do you ensure this big population access your blog? Your guess is as good as mine, to be discussed well in this session. He will also top that with mobile blogging. How many have ever blogged from their mobile phone?
