Right before Christmas, I started to notice a change in how the blogs I read appeared on my iPad. After some research, and by leaving a question on the Blogger product forum, I was able to determine that Google had made a change without any announcement. All iPads users were now only able to read blogs in mobile view. This means I cannot see your full web version, including your sidebar, unless I scroll down and click through to that choice each time. Tedious, to say the least.
There has always been the option to disable mobile view, so readers with iPhones can see the full version of your blog. I had done that previously, but now it also applies to your iPad readers - 13% for my blog.
Blogger users can disable the mobile view very easily. Under your dashboard, click on Template, then the gear under Mobile view. Choose option to show full web version on mobile devices.
Have a great weekend! After seeing some of the pretty Valentine crafts some of you are making, I plan on getting some supplies together this weekend and attempting a couple projects.

Hi Vicki, Just found your blog from Susan's Outdoor Wednesday link-up and oh my, what a lovely blog you have. I am looking forward to reading more! I also struggle with a chronic illness (rheumatoid disease) so we have something in common. Being an avid traveler, I am also on a quest to develop a reciprocal blog friendship with someone is every state and I don't believe I currently have a blog friend in Michigan!! At any rate, you have a new follower and I am excited about reading some of your earlier posts! Sharon
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki! I just took care of this and really appreciate your clear instructions. Also, I have noted how generous women bloggers are with one another when it comes to helpful tips for making a better site. Some areas of life are a real cut throat competition, but not this one! Thanks for your help, I had no clue about this at all!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I didn't even realize my settings might have been a problem for mobile viewers. I changed them, following your clear instructions.
