Great article showing a great example of using CSS to restyle a site for different browsers.
At the end, he has a call to action. This idea gets my vote and everyone who is a CSS-jockey should come up with, not only CSS for mobiles, but a CSS version of their own site as well.*

In fact, this might be a fun project. First I’m going to send off a note to Dave to see if he’s interested in maybe doing a “mobile month” for the zen garden or something, where all the designs submitted take the basic html template and turn them into pages meant to work on mobile phones (with Opera mini being the primary focus). That would rule. If not, I just registered HandheldCSS.com and may do this myself… I’d love to see some good designers really push the limits in mobile design and show us what’s possible.
*Man, I’ve been waiting for mobile CSS templates from TypePad for some time (I had the brief opportunity to influence them, though). I just don’t know CSS enough (or have a decent free editor) to make my own (gotta try the Firefox plug-in).
