We as roleplayers tend to have lots and lots of pages, and these pages relay all the important information one needs to know as our roleplaying parters. However, mobile users might not be able to navigate to these pages at all.
They can send an ask for the link or make a guess at what the URL is for the page or simply wait until they’re on a desktop, but as owner of the blog, there’s actually a way to make these links visible from the get go.
By default, a mobile theme shows three links: ask (if open), submit (if open), and archive. To use my blog as an example:
If one visits my blog on a desktop, they’ll see I have eight additional pages or tags that I link to. However, in the screenshot above, they don’t appear! To make them available on mobile, I have to go to the theme customization options, and navigate to a page I want to make visible on mobile.
Let’s go to my “stats” page, the basic information on my character.
In the upper right-hand corner of the pane, there’s a switch labeled “Show link to this page” that’s currently in the off position. I want to click that so that it’s blue and on.
Doing this will create a new text field, which the browser will automatically place my cursor in. That text field is the title that will appear for the link on mobile. It automatically replicates the text field below, as you can see they’re both titled “File: Tam, Dr. Simon”, but you can change it if you want it to appear differently on mobile. This is especially helpful if your page doesn’t have a title for whatever reason and so there’s nothing to click for a link.
Save that, and now there’s a link to the page on my blog’s mobile theme!
The order that the pages are listed in the customize pane are the order the links will appear on the mobile theme.
To change the order, simply grab the little handle (the group of dots at the left side of the page URLs in the pane), and drag and drop them into the desired order.
And that’s all there is about making pages more mobile friendly. Now mobile users can immediately read your pages without playing a guessing game in the URL bar or asking you for a link.
