I'm new to iOS programming and i want to make a simple app thad displays some websites.
But the Websites are not optimized for mobile use and I can't change anything on the original server.
I tought thad the simpelst way would be to change the css from this site to fit my needs.
Is it possible to change the CSS of a site in the webview or so.
Or do i have to make a Proxyserver thad changes everything and connect to it.
Thanks
Greeting from Switzerland

This morning I had a look at my blog on my iPhone and noticed that when I view a specific page a Reader icon comes up next to the URL in the address bar:
When I press it, I get an interface like this:
This functionality was completely unintentional (I wasn't even previously aware of it) but I think really nice, so I want to try and implement it intentionally on a few other pages on my website (and other sites that I work on).
How do I work with and enable this feature?
You don't need any work on your site. This is build-in feature on iOS Safari.
Hi I am developing a site for desktop.The site renders the contents for desktop size.But when I see it in mobile the content is not properly rendered.
How can I make a site that fits all mobile screen sizes say Blackberry,Android,iPhone, etc. Can anybody mention any articles. I know only HTML. Thanks in advance.
I remember looking into myself a while ago and finding this video tutorial on net-tuts+ to be a good starting point
It is hard to make a single site that looks good on both mobile and desktop. Resolution is not the only problem, the very way the user interacts with you site changes on a mobile device. That said, the typical thing to do is to have a mobile style sheet which is loaded for mobile, and a desktop sheet for desktop. You might even go so far as to limit some of your content on mobile to make the page lighter.
I found http://mobiforge.com to be a good source of info.
I want to build a site to introduce my phone apps and guide users to the app store. is there any good theme or template for me to get start?
I need to put all my apps together and have separate page for single one.
I have 3 app supporting websites all of these are done using wordpress. Generally I found that I pick the template that suits my fancy but one thing I do for sure - enable mobile theme such as this (there are bunch if you search for "wordpress mobile")
I usually create one tab (page) that is loadable from my app and serves as Help page
I'm interested in creating an alternate version of a Wordpress site, specifically tailored for mobile devices. (We're talking about iPhones in particular, but something more generic would be cool, too.)
My thinking on this right now is that I'll need to figure out how to serve the content from one Wordpress installation to two different domains, each with a different theme. And then that second theme could be mobile-friendly.
Is this possible? Is there a better way?
WPtouch: WordPress on iPhone, iPod, Android, Storm & Pre
More than just a plugin, WPtouch is an entire theme package for your WordPress website. Modeled after Apple's app store design specs, WPtouch makes your WordPress website load lightning fast on touch mobile devices, show your content beautifully, all while not interfering with your regular theme.

Can't you just detect the user-agent (search for the iPhone Safari UA string and match it) and serve the iPhone theme if it matches, otherwise show the normal theme?
There are at least two plugins that automatically do this (without a second domain). The one I use is WordPress Mobile Edition. I should add that it comes with a theme that can be modified.
Is it possible to make my own website as iPhone friendly format when user launches my website in an iPhone browser?
Currently if i launch my website in iPhone, it doesn't look more readable and i need to zoom it to see clearly. If i want to provide my website link will be more clear and readable with bold fonts and buttons ( moreover it is like iPhone friendly format) in the first launch itself in iPhone browser, how to make it success? I could able to see some third party websites like http://tringapps.com and all provide the same logic. How to achieve this and what should i do for that? Where to code?

You'll need to make a separate version, or at the very least an extreme re-CSSing of your existing site.
Apple has some good tips on getting started here.
There are several toolkits to assist in developing the web apps as well, like this and even this.
There is a good book to get started. Building Applications for Mobile Safari
There are many PDFs available from Apple.
