I've installed a new theme targeted for users of iPhones.  It will display content in a mobile friendly format.

As you know this site is a Joomla installation, and to get this to work I installed a module called Auto Template Switcher. It lets you target certain browser types (user agents) and send those requests to a special test.  For everyone but iPhone users they will see my normal template.  But iPhone users will see a modified version of NewsPressed Mobile.  To be honest the theme itself is kind of craptastic.  I'll get around to writing one to Apple spec one of these days, but there are bigger fish to fry first.

Finally, the reason this site is using Joomla is because I wanted a turn key solution.  I've got my own CMS framework that I use for other sites, but I didnt want to do a whole lot of customization for this site.

I still have some more awesomization to do here, and as I add them, I will let you know.
