    I want to make my website mobile friendly so it shows up nice on a phone with the site filling up the entire screen and you cant zoom in and out.... like how http://m.cnn.com works.

    Is there a code i have to place that makes it do that?

    Thanks for the help.

    I believe you are going to have to get the .mob url for your site. Like if your site is www.example.com you'll need a url for www.example.mob and then read the tutorials available for creating a .mob site. I may have the .mob wrong I am not sure. My host provides mobile friendly hosting so I am only speaking about what I read on the site like 2 months ago. Whoever your host is ask them if they have mobile phone support in their hosting. And they should point you in the right direction. I personally have never built a mobile site so I am not sure what is involved.

    You can use php to check what browser the visitor is using, if its a mobile browser, display your mobile version.
    php.net/manual/en/function.get-browser.php

    You can check mobileblogbuilder.com if it's a blog. Also the beauty of it is you don't get duplicate contents. It automatically sync up with your website as is.
