Oakseed on the iPhone

May 30, 2008

While I was waiting at the train station yesterday, I was testing some features that will enable the Oakseed website to format to multiple types of mobile phones and devices.  In today’s fast past world, many people spend a large portion of their commute time on buses and trains.  I figured that providing easy access for the mobile users would be a great encouragement.  You can now read the devotions, updates and most of the Oakseed website in a view that is specifically formatted for your device.

Currently, the only mobile devices that are getting this special treatment are the iPhone and the iTouch.  And since I actually don’t own either of these devices, I would love to get feedback from people who do use the iPhone or iTouch.

Some of the questions I’m looking for are:

1. When you initially type in “oakseed.org” in the iPhone/iTouch browser… do you get the full (normal) version of the website or the special iPhone version.  (On the bottom of the page, it gives you the option of switching between versions.)

2. Are you able to “search” the site, using the link on the top right of the iPhone version site?

3. Are you able to select the menu and get a drop down list of links with icons on it?  (Menu link located on top right.)

Thank you in advance for all you iPhone/iTouch people who are able to help me.  Feel free to leave your feedback by filling out the form below.

And for everyone else, you will be unable to view this special iPhone version or even links to this version from your regular browser.

Server upgrade – New look unveiled

March 7, 2008

Special Warning… We will be migrating the old site over to the new site all weekend. Thank you for your patients during this transition.

So there’s a new look to the website. Over the next week, we will be opening up new sections of the website. The focus of this website is to tell the story of our ministry partners. Many of the poor and abandoned have no voice and Oakseed wants to give them their voice.
