Thanks - ideally the site adjusting itself automatically would be the best solution - far better than two sites. The vision in my head is to make my site ( answerbook at Tiddlyspot ) would be formatted to look like this ( http://itw.bidix.info/ ) on a small screen.
Skill level-wise, I am one or two steps ahead of "None". I can read much but not all of HTML; but have open a reference site anytime I am working with it. I have played with both HTML & CSS enough to create a traditional website. I found CSS to be an easy & elegant way to work with formatting a website, and don't quite get why everyone thinks its so hard. I guess I just grok it. I am a whiz at cut & paste and following specific step by step directions. Thanks for taking a look at my site - I'd love to hear what you think. - Joan PS - I specifically did not make a link to the site in the hope it will not pick up a lot of visitors. It really isn't designed for the general public.
