Is that Three Sheets Northwest in your pocket?
Feb 26 2010 in Announcements by Marty McOmber
Now it’s easier than ever to catch up with Three Sheets Northwest anytime and anywhere. We’ve just optimized our website for mobile browsers so you can read all of our stories on your smart phone, submit comments and even tweet or email a link to our stories.
And you can add a nifty icon to your phone’s home screen so we’re always just a click away.
The new mobile theme for Three Sheets Northwest will load our site faster in your mobile browser. And the interface is designed to be easier to use on a small screen – so clumsy thumbs are no longer a problem.
The new smart phone version of Three Sheets Northwest quickly loads headlines from our latest stories, along with a thumbnail picture. Click the down arrow on the right corner to scan an excerpt of the story or read the full text by clicking the headline.
Want to share your thoughts on a story you just read? That’s easy too. You can leave a comment at the bottom of any story. There are also links to bookmark the story, email it to friends or post it on Twitter.
But what if you want to see our regular site on your mobile phone? No problem. At the bottom of every page, there’s a handy button that allows you to turn off the mobile theme and view Three Sheets Northwest just like you would on your computer.
The new mobile theme works with a wide variety of mobile browsers including Android, Aspen, Blackberry9500, Blackberry953d, Cupcake, Dream, Incognito, iPhone, iPod, Opera mini, Webmate and Webos. Sorry, but it doesn’t play well with Windows Mobile yet.
We’d love to know what you think of this new service. Drop us a note here or leave a comment below.
Very nice job. Three Sheets NW is rapidly becoming addictive
Cheers and thanks

Thanks Claus! That’s our goal!!!
Nice work! Thank you, guys. Now it’ll be easier than ever for me to keep up with your updates.
Looks great! Thanks, Marty. Nice work.
Hi Tim,
Sorry about that. We’ve added support for other mobile browsers, including Windows Mobile. Give it another try and let me know if it is working now.
You should just be able to go to the normal URL with your phone and it will load the mobile theme automatically.
For others, if it isn’t working on your phone, shoot me an email on and tell me the type of smart phone and the browser it uses and I’ll try to add it to the list.
Thanks,
Marty
How do I get to it? If I enter threesheetsnw.com into my phone’s browser (a Windows Mobile device), it tries to load up the entire desktop-style page, and it’s not so wonderful. Is this only for iPhone? Is there a direct URL I should use? Thanks!
