Hi John

Wow those are great!!

My wife looked at my site www.badeyes.com on the testyphone and said
it fit ok and when I clicked my "mobile" style sheet it looked even
better, the other one had sideways scrolling.

I've downloaded that WordPress plugin and will test it out, but if
you have time can you check www.badeyes.com with your Iphone and give
me some feedback, private if you like.

cheers
