LD Companion navigation issue
How does one navigate from the Companion Home page to the alphabetical index of articles? I haven’t found a link to click on.

Look at the right margin for 'Labels', there is your alpha list. All you have to do is call it the same thing as the author did.

I regret there is only one way to access the articles. It started out to have three, but my comrades in the project could not be bothered by such.

Sometimes it is there , sometimes it isn’t.Right now, I don’t see anything on the right, from any accessible page using the drop down menu in Home.

Would it be possible to add the index to the drop down menu?

Some additional information: The index does appear on my laptop, but not on my iPhone.

That works. Kinda defeats the point of having a mobile version, if it doesn’t support important functionality. The mobile version would be more useful if it had a way to access the index, right?

I click on the web version and get what I see on my computer. I know my way around this version, sometimes I really dislike doing everything on my cell phone. I use a Pixel 6 and find it a little more forgiving than my wife's " I "  phone for me.

Hey folks, there is no mobile version. When this was started we all used laptops and I still do.
If anyone wants to make a mobile version, have at it. I have no idea how to do and have zero interest in doing it.

Amen!

The companion is a godsend in any form I can access it.  I cannot see anyone spending the time to create/maintain a mobile version.

If we all agree that the current mobile version is useless on phones, then force usage of the web version by updating the Lazy Daze Companion link to

    The Lazy Daze Companion

Hi Dave, I don't know much about how a mobile phone ports into an application meant for a laptop. And I certainly understand why Don is going to leave the Companion the way it is.  I've used my tablet and everything that would appear on a laptop, also appears on the tablet. I've also used my cell phone, and I didn't notice much difference.  (Android).  I'll have to look more closely.   RonB

I 'looked' at this page with both the Firefox browser and on my Pixel 7 Pro without any problems.   I knew that Google has made all Blogger pages mobile and pc web-friendly.

No need Blogger does it automatically.  Just choose the version you like.  All web browsers that follow the 'official' rules will work.

Just to clear things up, I am referring to the “The Lazy Daze Companion” link under “Helpful Links”

If that link is changed to

     “https://lazydazearticles.blogspot.com/?m=0”

Then you get the default webpage view for the Companion on an iPhone, rather than the mobile view.
Not proposing any change to the Companion, just how our Helpful Links point to it.
