Wordpress has several plugins for mobile browsing of the blog. There is a mobile plugin for the iPhone (http://iwphone.contentrobot.com/) and a plugin for normal mobil devices (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mobile-edition/). There are several more, but these are just a few I saw.

I know there are plug-ins, but except for tech blogs, most people I know don't have a mobile version.

I use the google reader on my blackberry to view the RSS feeds of the blogs I keep up with. Google has made a dedicated blackberry client, so it's super easy.

For other mobile devices, there are a myrid of options avaliable for download.

On my blogs, I redirect all mobile browsers to a page with 2 clear options:

1) View this blog using a mobile RSS reader on your phone
I list a few for download and give the RSS feed URL

2) View the full blog
With a simple link to the full un-mobilized url. Almost all standards compliant pages render perfectly on iPhones and blackberries so for folks who don't read the blog all the time, I want them to see my pretty design anyway
