Here is a gallery site in Drupal that displays a Views grid of photos on the front page. It actually displayed fairly well on the iPhone since it is 960 pixels wide (which is what the iPhone assumes by default), but I wanted to serve a special style sheet to iPhones. Here's how I did it.
Mobile styling

When writing code I always try to keep things simple and with smartphones, this is a really good idea. Compared to a desktop or laptop, a smartphone is a puny thing: much less screen area, and less bandwidth and processing power. Good reasons to keep those HTML and CSS files as small as possible.
Going mobile

Since the iPhone seems to be the device of choice now (at least among my friends) I thought I would see if I could design a web page specifically for the iPhone, i.e. so it would look like an "app."
A little Facebook API
Submitted by Bob Hay on Wed, 07/21/2010 - 22:03If you head over to http://developers.facebook.com you can get code that you can paste into your site. The feeds are served in iframes.
On this page, using my "As is" input format, I pasted the code for Activity Feed and the code for the "like" button.
Making one page look different in Drupal
Submitted by Bob Hay on Thu, 07/01/2010 - 21:56Here is a demo page showing how to make one page a a Drupal site look different from the rest. One way to do this would be to add page-specific css to your style sheet (i.e. style.css in your theme's folder), but I don't want to add bloat to my theme just for one page.
Making a page with Views and Panels

A simple request
Submitted by Bob Hay on Mon, 06/21/2010 - 11:51You know the story. You build a Drupal site. It's amazing. Then the client asks for 2 simple features to be added. And you can't deny that they are reasonable requests. If only you'd known about them when you started!
Views displayed in an accordion
Submitted by Bob Hay on Wed, 06/09/2010 - 22:18This page features an accordion which contains 3 Views, each of which displays a list of articles tagged with the taxonomy terms "Drupal," "JQuery," and "CSS." (See the accordion at the bottom of the page.)
Adding elements to a page with jquery
Submitted by Bob Hay on Sat, 06/05/2010 - 23:16If you go to one of my Magnifier pages, you will see, between the title and the image, the link "Back to Magnifier index."
This particular link is not provided by Views or by Drupal, but is added to the page by jquery. It's a situation that comes up surprisingly often - wanting to add something to a generated page.
It's fairly simple. In fact, it's just one line of jquery.
