A friend created a mobile version of my website. It works quite nicely on iPhone, mobile IE and Opera Mini. No guarantees on other browsers/devices. Kind of fun to play with - check it out, if you please... http://baconphoto.com/mobile

Apparently my G1 (Android) thinks it's a big browser. I get redirected to your main page, even if I click on the link to the mobile site on your homepage. Oh well.

Bummer, Matt. Sorry its not working for you. It must not be interpreting the java_script correctly. And I'm such a Google fan!
But if I/we learned anything from this little project, it was the varying (and different) levels of HTML, java_script and CSS support provided by the different browsers and devices - what a nightmare. It wasn't easy to get things to look the same on just the 3 or 4 devices/browsers that we had access to. Hopefully, this will get better as mobile browsing matures.
Scott, I downsized my browser size to ~ 3"x5"(Firefox) and then clicked on your link and everything worked great! This is a really neat idea!.
Once I started looking at your gallery, I experimented by opening up the size of the browser and it immediately took me to your normal website.
