  I am trying to ensure that our site is mobile device friendly. I am getting reports that some of the drop down menus are inaccessible – I do not have a smartphone to see this.
  I have the Enable mobile device selected as “Yes” but Enable excerpts on front page is “No”. I have read about plugins for the different mobile platforms but as this is a wordpress.com site, assume I cannot use these – or can I? If so, please could you explain how?
  I would be very grateful for any help. I am a student learning about IT and have built the site by learning to do what I need from the Support sites – they are excellent – so please don’t assume too much knowledge in your explanation.
  Many Thanks

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

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we blogger cannot install plugins into our blogs.

  I’m sorry but I don’t have a mobile. Hopefully others will post and assist you.

  Thank you Timethief, you have confirmed my understanding re plugins on WP.com. This is the first time I have posted in the forums but I have read your words of wisdom a lot – thank you for them.

  You’re welcome. :) I’m sorry I can’t help you with this. I’m hoping another Volunteer or Staff may be able to help you later on.
