I did both design and development in my spare time over the past couple of weeks, with the entire HTML and WordPress implementation taking a little bit over a day of work (split over four.) I love WordPress

*This site, since this article was written, has been completely rewritten. I'm no longer responsible for anything you see there in the way that I normally am. I tried my best, but we're working with Drupal in a big way so most of the markup, etc. is simply out of my hands. So, I don't really feel any ownership at all for the UI layer. Let's call it an Alan Smithee project.]

I've never been a fan of the negative text indent trick for image replacement. Don't get me wrong, it's a great technique and is very useful, I've just never liked it. Something about setting those crazy negative indents always struck me as incredibly hacky (even though it really isn't,) so I never fully felt comfortable with the technique. I can't really explain it, but that's the reality.

The new A List Apart article, Switchy McLayout: An Adaptive Layout Technique, got me thinking about methods to serve content to mobile browsers. To play around with that in a real world environment (without having to wait around for a client to ask) I started to think seriously about how I want to handle serving content for mobile browsers here at Drunkenfist.com. The above article is nice in concept (especially since it works on the other end of the spectrum), but it doesn't do anything to limit the overall file sizes (in fact I imagine it adds to the size of the style sheets) or how much/what type of content is sent to the browsers. What I really want is a low overhead scheme for serving proper mobile friendly pages.

I didn't actually build anything on this site, but in the couple of weeks I did work on it I did do some XML/XSLT work on the CMS part, a wee bit of JavaScript and mashed the CSS up to work correctly with the IE family.
