Google launched the mobile template in beta stage after so much of complaining by the users (word press had it beforehand), with almost no hype! I even tried searching their official blog for signs of Mobile View, but none were there, they haven't even updated their official help for "mobile template" yet, if you try Googling that won't be of any help either. It's very easy to enable mobile view for your blogger blog, even easier if you are opening your blog for the first time after google enabled this feature, all you have to do is click on "Turn on Mobile Templates" as shown below:
 |
| Mobile Templates |
If not, you can always go to the "Settings" -> "Email & Mobile" -> click on "yes...." -> save preferences. It's done, if you want to know how your blog looks on mobile, you can always click on "MOBILE PREVIEW". The 2D bar code just by the side of the button reads the address of your blog.

| Enabling Mobile View |
Like mine reads something like "
http://techtium.blogspot.com/?m=1". You can save the "chart.png", that is your bar code and put that anywhere you'd like to publicize your blog (of course this will work if your country is advanced enough that every person has a bar code reader installed in his phone; like in China).

| Mobile View |
But the problem with mobile view is that I wasn't able to go to mobile version of my blog automatically when I opened my blog on one NOKIA E phone and one XPRESS MUSIC, I had to put the mobile address ie "blogaddress/?m=1" so up to now its much of a filthy experience, you can't even edit the mobile template. Looks like Google has not activated the auto redirect*, but I am sure Google will work this out soon, yes it's in BETA! And since Wordpress users were having this feature at hand quiet lately, it's was an always expected feature and is Most Welcome by Blogger users. Even some basic gadgets are supported+
Another feature Blogger introduced lately is giving Location to your blog, it is placed at the place where the Labels used to be, and labels are shifted to the left.
