We will now discuss Question #31 of 200 blog review questions to help you improve your blog and review blogs. The Ultimate Blog Review Guide e-book covers all 200 questions in detail.

Blog Review Question #31: How does the blog look on a Web-enabled cell phone or handheld computer? 

Bust out your iPhone. How does the blog look?

Now bust out your older PDA or cell phone that can handle the Web, but not to the same degree. How does the blog look?

More than anything, what matters is that the blog's content can be accessed by as many people as possible – particularly those who fit its target audience.

When it comes to small handheld Internet devices, your blog doesn't need to look like it bought every last item in the Fancy Pants store sale last week, but it ought to look good and capture readers' interest.

Then there's the whole question of Web feeds … meaning that many people are accessing your content on handhelds (and on "regular" laptop and desktop computers and other Web-enabled devices) without ever seeing your blog itself. They're pulling the content from your blog into their Web feed reader (usually in the RSS or Atom format). Make sure your feed looks presentable. FeedBurner is by far the most popular tool for making your feed look spiffy, and the best I've seen.
