Responsive WP8

So I was trying to create a web page based on responsive web design. It worked as expect3rd on most browsers, until I tested it on a nokia lumia 800 running WP7 with presumably IE9 mobile. It still looked like it was on a desktop. To fixed it, I added the following meta data to the page header.

&#60meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1"&#62
&#60meta name="HandheldFriendly" content="true"&#62
&#60meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1"&#62
&#60meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes"&#62
&#60meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black"&#62

Preparing for Cross App promotion

Was looking into responsive web design… CSS building is really not my cuppa tea. So had to look for existing template which i can “borrow”. Found one and created this: Responsive App Promo Page. i’ll be adding a button in my games that will open up a webview to this page which will link them to my other games! then ???? PROFIT!

Oh, also note to self, Responsinator is a useful site for testing responsive website designs. :)

And I’ll seriously need to figure out how to block bots from posting comments on this site…
