How hard can be be to fix a button.
I use typepad’s free blog as my blog host. I pay nothing for this service. Zilch.
I tweeted @typepad and asked “why is typepad mobile unfriendly? Post and preview buttons don’t work on Blackberry mobile or Opera Mini. Wasted effort to type.”
This means that if I want to reply to something one you, dear Readers posted, I can’t do it from mobile, even though I get notification on my mobile by email. The dashboard does not allow replying from the dashboard. It sends me to the page you are reading now. I actually typed a response in Opera Mini - which I hadn't used here before and couldn't post. I can see the post button, but clicking on it has no effect. I thought it would be fixed by now – they’ve been tweaking things and I’ve seen an improvement over the last year. It’s not.
Now get a load of @typepad’s tweet back.
“Improving the mobile experience is one of our goals for 2012.
Stay tuned.” I’m making this a gratitude – I am grateful for a response. It is better than being ignored. Always. But I think we can all agree that this was a non-answer. Not so cool, typepad. Not so cool.
