Re: [Fofredux-devel] A few changes

[Broken K. <kha...@gm...>]

Regarding how it scales down, that's a pretty interesting one, the short 
answer is not really. I've only ever seen my site on a Blackberry once 
and the css wasn't working but the markup was pretty good and it was 
completely readable. The question is do you make a css file specifically 
for mobile devices? If so what's the 'standard' resolution you can play 
around with? If anyone's got some links etc I'll do my homework and come 
back with a battle plan, just need a nudge in the right direction :).
