Mobile!

Seems a lot of sites use one of the many mobile plug-ins around to
support mobile access (www.ads-software.com included). However, as long as
mobile plug-ins are many and not in the core, there will be little or no
further development on top of mobile as it would be totally impossible
to test/integrate with all current mobile plug-ins.

To really kick off WP in the direction of mobile, the mobile plug-in functionality (+some more) would need to be integrated into the core. In this way all players in the ecosystem can start enhancing mobile functionality.

Benefits with having a single, core mobile extension:
– Themes could start having mobile versions as standard along with the
desktop theme, this would make mobile look and feel so much better
integrated with the desktop view.
– Plug-ins could start testing for mobile functionality. Now a lot of
plug-ins provide great value but would benefit from a mobile version to
better support small screens. Having a single mobile solution would
encourage this.
– Plug-in management. If the mobile solution came with some sort of nice
management if, it would be possible to have different sets of plug-ins
activated on mobile and desktop. (Ditto for menus).

There are a lot of good mobile plug-ins, but as far as I can tell, not a
single great one. Most current plug-ins have 1 or 2 unique features,
which taken together would make a great mobile solution!

Taking the mobile step would certainly help position WordPress as a
unique solution for sites that want to provide best-in-class support to
both mobile and desktop users!

I changed theme and tried to run Breadcrumb as a widget. I also had some issues there so I disabled the widget totally, will no longer show on the site.
