Keep in mind this article is from 2005. Much of his advice is not at all what I would do (and am doing) today. Is your site templatized? If so, use CFWURFL to sniff the the mobile users and then set a request flag to determine if the users get the mobile or "normal" templates.
I also greatly disagree with the advice to create a standalone site for mobile. This destroys your position in search engines for mobile users. It also pushes the mobile users into a ghetto of different functionality. It's better to treat them as you would a different class of desktop browser (you know...IE). My two cents...
