NEW TUTORIAL ON THE BEST PLUGINS TO MAKE YOUR WORDPRESS WEBSITE RESPONSIVE
Responsive means being able to view your website from different types of devices like smart phones, tablets, etc and it still looks good. I have found 3 plugins that can help you achieve that, and they are;

1. WP Mobile Detector

To quickly adapt your website with small-screen devices, there’s a simple WordPress plug-in called WP Mobile Detector, which you can download and install its free version through the WordPress official site.

The special feature of this amazing mobile-detector plugin is that unlike other plugin that target only few gadgets, WP Mobile detector supports not only 100 or even 1000, but a whopping 5,000 web-enabled cells, smartphones, iPhones, and tablets in the market.

2. WordPress Mobile Pack

This free WordPress plugin is readily available from WordPress.org site. But before you go on and download the plugin, I want you to consider its pros and cons first.

The good news is that WordPress Mobile Pack is a complete plugin that not only converts your non-mobile website into responsive website, but also gives you a full control over to you.

The domain mapping and the user agent actually detects the most popular hand-held devices before displaying the content on it. In addition to that, it includes an Elegant theme, although it comes in four different colors.

3. WordPress MobilePress

Finally, the final WordPress plugin to make your website mobile-friendly is WordPress MobilePress. The author who developed the plugin claims that the plugin only works for version up to 2.8.6, but we didn’t have any problems so far using it on the latest WordPress version.

MobilePress is a simple plugin and doesn’t try to overwhelm its users as it only provides few important options to turn your website into a responsive web design.

Here’s another interesting thing we found out about the WordPress MobilePress. It’s not only simple to use, but to test also as the plugin forces your site to switch to mobile view rather than using the actual mobile-device, and more importantly, domain mapping.

For people who have an idea on codes i found another tutorial that might benefit you so instead of using plugins, you can do it the rugged way;
If you are new to web programming, a little tool named ‘Element Inspector’ may help you a lot to find the right layers you have to modify. All modern browsers should have it. Mozilla Firefox have had it since v10.0, Internet Explorer since v9. If we have to recommend, we will choose Opera or Google Chrome. To create a responsive design, you just need to modify only one file, style.css.

Firstly, put this code at the very end of your style.css:
1 @media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
2 }



This code is a conditional styling code which will tell the browser that if the screen size is less or equal than 480px, it should do all the styling parameters set in between the brackets. 480px is the maximum screen size of smartphones that exist in the market.

For tablets, you can use 959px. The conditional code will be:
1 @media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 959px) {
2
3 }
For the sake of simplicity, we will only discuss responsive design for smartphone at this tutorial. Once you master this, creating a responsive design for tablets will be just as easy.

After you type the conditional code, put all codes that we have below in between the brackets. Read more from here http://colorlabsproject.com/tutorials/make-your-wordpress-theme-responsive/

The blog that you finished working on do you want to migrate all the posts and pages on the local install? If you don't want to migrate the posts and pages all you need to do is install WordPress on your website if your host is using cpanel, then you can install it using softaculous or fantastico. After install WordPress just upload the theme and activate it and you are good to go.
If you want to migrate all posts and pages just export them using the WordPress importer.

If you more questions just reply.

When using wordpress, you always download good looking themes which you have to customize. And since most of the themes are free, you always encounter the problem of "linkbacks" or certain ads at the bottom of the site and most times these look annoying and "unprofessional". What do you do? Yes, you can edit or "customize" that part. All you have to do is go to the "editor" menu on the left of your dashboard, click and look for "footer.php" on the right and edit. Below is a pictorial guide

Well why we are on wordpress and have not branched anywere, can you drop more plugins in which u can use in making ur site look responsive? And for me, I think databoy made us to understand what a responsive website looks like, its just 2ways, its either you are viewing your website with either your computer or some internet enable mobile device so what r we not saying, making your website to mobile friend is still another of way of making your website responsive, WP Mobile Detector: when this plugins is installed, its load the mobile version authomatically without your choosing to visit the mobile version.

Building a blog with Drupal is like killing a mosquito a Mac5 and trying to build a school website with WordPress is like trying to kill an elephant with a pocket knive.
The moral of the story is that they both have their strength and weaknesses.
