We’re a step closer to a full version 1 product! We’ve had a very busy 2008 so far, releasing 6 new, big features and countless behind-the-scene features that make MoFuse work!

With this rolling update coming to completion, all accounts will now have access to the following features, automatic image resizing, ability to edit your mobile site homepage, adding outbound links to your mobile site menu, transcoding all outbound links from your static pages and links from your RSS feed, and QR codes for your mobile site!

Let’s take a look at each feature.

Automatic Image Resizing

You probably already know about this feature, we were really excited about getting it released so we sent everyone an email letting them know it was here! If you have any images in your RSS feed or on your static pages that is greater than 150 pixels wide, MoFuse will automatically resize the image and make it smaller to be better viewed on a mobile screen!

Note: You can turn this feature off under the Settings tab on your mobile site dashboard

Mobile Site Homepage

No all MoFuse users can edit their mobile site homepage using our WYSIWYG page editor. Using the editor you can add text, style, links and images to your homepage.

This can be used for a welcome message or you can just create a mobile site with just a homepage full of anything you want without making users click on a menu link! You can also set this to be displayed on every page if you wish.

Outbound Links

Before you could only add 2 things to your mobile site menu, a static page and an RSS feed. Now you can add any link to anywhere on the web!

Don’t worry if the site you’re linking to isn’t mobile-friendly – we’ve partnered with Mowser, a mobile transcoding company, to ensure that every link on every MoFuse mobile site is now mobile-friendly (more to come on this partnership later).

So go ahead – link away! The entire web is now mobile-friendly and you can link to it all!

QR Codes

We’ve had a QR Code generator for a while now located at http://qrcode.mofuse.com/ but it was never actually integrated with MoFuse mobile sites, until now.

Now every MoFuse mobile site is automatically given a QR Code that all of our users can access right from their mobile site dashboard!

Don’t know what a QR Code is? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_Code

The following feature is available to MoFuse Professional accounts only.

Increased Branding – The SMS Widget

Professional users that make use of our SMS widget will notice that the MoFuse logo has been removed from the popup box and has been replaced with your mobile site’s logo! Now your users really won’t even know you’re using a third-party for your mobile site!

Full branding from start to finish for MoFuse Professional accounts!

Bug Fixes

Over the past month we’ve also been hard at work fixing some bugs, mostly IE bugs. 2 of the biggest have been fixed:

IE7 and IE6 was crashing on the design your mobile site page – FIXED
IE7 and IE6 would not work with the SMS widget – FIXED

 

We hope everyone is having a great 2008 and we look forward to your feedback on these new features!
