Blog Wiidesign!

Instead of going for a complete overhaul, I tweaked my blog a bit. It’s similar, yet a little cleaner with the sidebar stuff down at the bottom.

The BIG news is, though, that I added Wii support to my blog. It’s quite useless, as I doubt tons of people will be surfing over to my website using their Wiis, but I figured, “Why not?”

If you want to make your website a little more Wii friendly, just drop the following in your document’s <head></head> area:

    <script type="text/javascript">
      window.onload = function() {
        // Wii detection (for CSS tweaking)
        if (navigator.platform == 'Nintendo Wii') {
          document.body.className += ' ' + 'os-wii';
        }
      }
    </script>

Then, you can go crazy in your stylesheets by adding body.os-wii {} and derivates, like body.os-wii #content { font-size: 18pt; width: 100%; } or body.os-wii #footer { font-size: 16pt; }

This is just my little belated Christmas gift to all you fellow webmonkeying Nintendo nerds. *smile*

(Oh, and feel free to use the above however you want…)

    [...] Today I saw how document.body.className can be used to have browser-specific style definitions.  I’m pretty sure there are other ways to arriving at the same result that I’m not familiar of.  I do find the approach above to be a clean and simple one. [...]

    Add me. Look at other forum. Can I plug iPod into Wii? Right now it’s in USB and nothing is happening.
