  I was advised by Hubspot. I am not sure how to make my blog mobile friendly.
  Thank you.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi!

  The easiest way to do this would be to enable our mobile theme as explained here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/mobile-themes/

  This will replace your current theme (Twenty Ten) with our mobile-specific theme on mobile devices so your site looks great no matter where it’s viewed. You can do that here:

  Thank you for that. Could you advise me if I should check yes or no to
  “Always show posts on the front page?”
  I am not entirely certain what the question means.
  Thank you.
  Sharon.

  Hey Sharon!

  Currently, the front of your site shows your latest blog posts. Some users choose to have static content on their front page instead (and a separate blog post page). You can read more about that here:

  Set the Homepage

  Sometimes, those static front pages don’t work as well on mobile devices. This setting, when flipped to “Yes,” overrides the front page setting and shows blog posts instead of the static content.

  In short, with your current setup (displaying blog posts on the front page), this option won’t make a difference on your site!

  Thank you. I have activated my 2010 theme to enable mobile options.
  Does this mean the 2010 theme is now “mobile and tablet friendly?”
  2010 theme isn’t listed as a mobile friendly theme. Thank you.
  Sharon.

  Hey Sharon!

  Yep – you’re good to go. When you enable the mobile theme here, we replace the Twenty Ten theme with our default mobile theme when readers view your site from mobile devices. So, on smaller screens, readers will see a different theme, not Twenty Ten since it’s not responsive as you mentioned.

  If you have any trouble, let me know!

  I don’t like the way it is looking on the mobile device. Thank you for explaining it to me and I will change themes so that I have a mobile friendly theme.
  thank you.
  Sharon.

  No problem Sharon! The vast majority of our themes here should be mobile-responsive:

  If you have any questions about a particular theme, definitely let me know!
