Mobile Styles stuff

Hey, I know we've been getting a lot of requests about the mobile style stuff. Thank you to everyone who's been responding to users and gathering info <3

The two biggest issues I'm aware of are that comments are too narrow, so that once you're a few levels in they're unreadable on a phone, and that the sidebar can take up too much space versus the content on more medium sized screens (larger phones / tablets?).

We're trying to get out changes soon for these but it's taking some time because we have to go style by style.

Other stuff I'm aware of concerns navstrip; but I don't have much news on that front except that we're going to try to redesign it away from the current half hearted effort to work better on small screens without stretching out the page.

What other common issues are people reporting?

Funny I should come across this post just now. Earlier this morning I was testing out the mobile site, and I noticed a few additions. I'm still rather new to DW but these mobile site changes are a step in the right direction in terms of screen reader accessibility on the Mac. I've only tested the mobile version with VoiceOver, but will definitely file a ticket if and when I come across problems. I'm planning to do some testing with Chromevox, but that will have to be put on the back burner at least for now as I'm currently doing apartment chores and other things. But I honestly cannot say enough good things about DW!
