Guess what I did?!


Scan the QR code. Check it out!

I made You. Me. Ride This Crazy Train (and Bus) mobile friendly.

In other words, the site should load in a format on your smartphone and android where it's scaled to the width of your display and shows only the posts.

I hope this makes it easier for those on BlackBerries. Sorry it took so long for me get on this.

    I agree it's about time. Works great on my BB and gives an abstract of the posts and I can see the comments up front. I really didn't like the BB browser. The site would often quit due to size.

    Hi CJ, it's a QR (Quick Response) code. I tried searching google for "QER" code but it even corrected it to QR code.

    Can't you just give a link to the mobile version of your site?

    Scanning is more fun!

    Figure we could all learn how QR codes work.

    The site has been set to show its mobile version automatically should anyone type in www.thiscrazytrain.com on a wap-enabled mobile, android, iphone or smartphone.

    I was just getting fancy with the QR code.

    I'm with DF on this one... plus my mobile phone is way behind the times. It's not "smart" at all although it does keep good time, and works reasonably well as a phone. :o)
