[wp-hackers] XML-based display and spoofing multisite

[William Davis]

Thanks Bill. Our mobile site currently (which is actually on a  
different CMS) uses responsive Web design to fit many different  
browsers, but scaling our desktop version down simply won't work — too  
much going on. For example, our home page is completely reconfigured  
on mobile, we reposition ads, reduce image sizes to speed up load  
times, emphasize different elements that people are more likely to  
want on their phone than on their computer, etc.
