Generic Mobile Template Enabled for My OakLeaf Systems and Microsoft Access Blogs

Smartphone users with Webkit browsers will see OakLeaf Systems’ posts in Blogger’s new generic mobile template, which went live today. Here’s Blogger’s preview of the current appearance:

The default mobile template is in use because I started with a very early version of the current template and didn’t want to move to the new version, which my Microsoft Access blog uses. However, even the new version doesn’t appear with a designer template in the online preview:

Overall, I believe the Blogger team did a good job on the templates. Too bad that they render only with Webkit browsers (Chrome, Android, Safari, WebOS, Nokia S60, and others). Perhaps by the time I sign up for a Windows 7 phone from Verizon, the mobile templates will support additional smartphone browsers.
