Today, visitors discover your site on a mobile, small screen device and dig deeper when they are at a big screen device (like a notebook, tablet or desktop computer). The challenge with creating mobile sites is providing seemless integration with content and a consistent user experience. Although the big screen version of your site should still display correctly on phones, the site should be device-aware to present the best display for the device used. Visitors should automatically be redirected to your mobile site and given an option to view the full site, not the other way around.

Many sites may want this functionality and it is quite easy to add.

These files contain information about your current Drupal distribution that could potentially be used to wreak havoc on your site.

Using custom styles, programmers can create very unique looking lists such as charts, graphs, and time lines. In the example below, I will explain how to start a Views 3 style using a simple timeline as an example. The timeline above is an example of using Views displaying individual nodes called Timeline Events in an attractive display.
