Holsee's Blog

I have made two improvements to my blog over the last couple of days.

Apple mobile Device Support

I have added css to target the iPod Touch and iPhone platforms.  What this gives is a nice user experience when reading my blog on one of these devices.

Gotcha: Scrolling Across the Code Samples

As code samples can be wide this is quite an important thing to note:

USE TWO FINGERS TO DRAG ACROSS THE CODE SAMPLE. This gesture allow user to scroll across the code sample.

The theme still needs tweaked but I’ll get round to that hopefully within the next week.

OpenID Support

I have finally rolled out OpenID support in my blog.  This means users do not have to register with my blog now in order to leave a comment.

Simply enter your OpenID in the login screen and bobs your uncle.

Note: There seems to be an issue whereby using the link at the bottom of the page to sign in incorrectly redirects and gives a “404 page not found”. 

I will address this in due course so in the mean time use the “Log in” link to the right of the page.

Gotcha: Signing in with your Google Account

You may or may not know but you can use your Google account to log in via OpenID.

Simply enter [ https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id ] like so:

If you are already signed into the Google account you will be asked to confirm, else you will be prompted to sign in.

Hope these improvements come in useful!
