Jeffery Zeldman and Derek Featherstone spoke on the importance of having your website visible on multiple devices and this struck home to me.<!--more-->  While they were both talking I had pulled my website on the phone and thought gosh; totally unreadable.  I hacked my way through learning a little more about creating a website that was responsive to screen size and finally this weekend tweaked out my own website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unlatched.com\" title=\"Website of Andrew Pallant - Web and Software Developer\" target=\"_blank\">www.unlatched.com<\/a>.  I was amazed with complexity of the job to reorganize what I had originally done, yet when done; found to be so easy!   I pulled resources from different sources for my initial kick at the can, but now I am tweaking to make my own reusable template.  Not hard, takes a little time, but I see now the importance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/madprogrammer76.wordpress.com\/2011\/12\/01\/websites-responsive-to-screen-size\/responsiveexample\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-484\" target=\"_new\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/andrewpallant.ca\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/responsiveexample.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"\" title=\"responsiveexample\" width=\"300\" height=\"126\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-484\" srcset=\"http:\/\/andrewpallant.ca\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/responsiveexample.jpg 1500w, http:\/\/andrewpallant.ca\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/responsiveexample-300x126.jpg 300w, http:\/\/andrewpallant.ca\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/responsiveexample-1024x431.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/andrewpallant.ca\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/responsiveexample-500x210.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are some resources:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.960.gs\" title=\"960 Grid System\" target=\"_blank\">960 Grid System<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/jasonsantamaria.com\/articles\/golden-grid-system\" title=\"Golden Grid System\" target=\"_blank\">Golden Grid System<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/getskeleton.com\/\" title=\"Get Skeleton - Beautiful Boilerplate\" target=\"_blank\">Skeleteon<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I own a desktop, laptop, iPad and an HTC Android phone.
