How to configure mobile website?
-
Hi,
Please tell me how to make the mobile website availabe:
htp://m.mysite.com
or
http://www.mysite.com i.e. to render different content based on user agent but on the same URL
-
What i am planning to do is - create a small function that based on the user agent will render the content i.e. if the user agent is of smart phones, it will render mobile version of the website and if it is desktop then it will render the desktop version. I hope it does not amounts to cloaking. Please correct me if i am wrong

If you would like to redirect it to a subdomain http://m.example.com/ then you can achieve that in a few different ways depending on the server it's hosted on. If you have Apache then you can use your .htaccess file to redirect mobile viewers to the mobile site.

Question Regarding Website Architecture
Hello All, Our website currently has a general solutions subdirectory, which then links to each specific solution, following the path /solutions/ => /solutions/solution1/. As our solutions can be quite complex, we are adding another subdirectory to target individuals by profession. I would like to link from our profession pages to the varying solutions that help. As both subdirectories will be top level pages in the main menu, would linking from our professions to **solutions **be poor architecture? In this case the path would look like: /professions/ => /professions/profession1/ => /solutions/solution1/. Thanks!

How to attach at text to image that other websites use from my website
I often have other websites link to my website. They will do this with an image that they pull off of my website. (actually my website continues to serve the image). These inbound links are great, but they don't have alt text. Is there a way for me to attach alt text to the images, or is this something the other website needs to code themselves?
