I tested it on my iPhone and it seems to work rather well. Not sure about how good the default user agent matches are though.

I’m disappointed that this plugin uses yet another theme engine (Carrington as opposed to K2).

Let me know in the comments if your phone doesn’t render nicely or you experience other issues.

I still have to tweak some subtleties (text and link corlours as well as header sizes), but it’s still pretty indicative of what the intended design was to look like.

K2 made this job far more easier than I thought it would be, though I did have a few issues with it’s use of padding css. In my experience padding and cross-browser design just don’t go together. You better served to try and make the design work with margins.

Thanks to my friend Joe Smith, for the original inspiration for this site’s current look and feel
