The Status Page will allow you to get immediate information regarding any Service issues for:
•    Mobile Websites hosted by MoFuse

While we will continue to announce any planned maintenance well in advance, the Status Page gives you real-time access to our operations 24 by 7.

Ladies and gentleman, get ready. SEO-Friendly URL’s have arrived!

With this new feature, you can now create custom URL’s for each page and RSS feeds on your mobile website.

For instance, let’s assume you’ve created a website for John’s Sneaker Shop, with the following URL: http://johnssneakers.prohost.mobi. If you add a ‘Contact Us‘ page to the site, you can name it http://johnssneakers.prohost.mobi/contact-us.

Additionally, you can edit the URL for pages or RSS feeds which have already been built into a mobile site in the Edit Elements page.

We hope you’re as excited about this new feature as we are!

Have a map on your mobile site but looking to make it more interactive? We recommend linking your map to Google Maps, so it becomes clickable!

Here’s how to do this:

1) Create a map element in the ‘Add Elements’ panel*

*Ignore step 1 if you already have a map on your mobile site

2) Lay out the map on your mobile website

3) Save the image of the map to your computer’s hard drive

4) Upload the image as an Image element and link it to the location’s address in Google maps

5) Delete the previously-created map, and then lay out your new image!

Doing this can be a great way to create a more user-friendly map, and it allows your mobile visitors to easily navigate to your location once they’ve clicked through to Google Maps!
