Wow, I never really realized how many of the viewers of my website, bootedman.com<\/a> visit the site using a mobile device. Recent statistics reveal that 91% of the visitors to my site access it using some type of mobile devices — mostly smartphones, but also a lot of tablets.\"Viewers08072015\"While the spouse has been taking care of his mother in her home this week…

\n…instead of watching the boob tube, I spent hours finally fixing each page on my website to make the pages more mobile-friendly. <\/p>\n

I still have more work to do, especially on the home page<\/a> and main index pages about my motorcycle boots<\/a>,cowboy boots<\/a>, work boots<\/a>, and my motorcycle gear<\/a>. The code for those index pages is set up differently, and I need to learn more about how to adjust those pages to create a mobile-specific set of such pages. I may or may not get around to that. I’ve seen those pages on mobile devices, and they seem to display okay.<\/p>\n

But the individual pages about my boots and gear all have been revised to fit the criteria put forth by the all-mighty Google.<\/p>\n

I have been reticent to make “mobile-friendly” code changes to the pages on my website mostly because I detest smartphones so much and don’t want one. My spouse got one before he went to Pittsburgh and I spent hours and hours with it while I was with him a week ago. Uggghh… I hated it. So hard to use, writing on it was unbearable, and many other things about it we just can’t stand, so my spouse instructed me to return it when I got back from Pittsburgh. Fortunately, we only subscribed for a 30-day trial period, so we could cancel without a penalty and only pay for one-month’s service.<\/p>\n

But if 91% of all viewers of my website access it with a mobile device, then I can’t ignore reality any more. <\/p>\n

Enjoy your mobile device. I’ll enjoy continuing to pocket the cash NOT spent on the monthly data plan ransom and cost of the device — and buy some more boots instead \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Life is short: face reality, but still cherish your inner dinosaur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
