  I use the broadsheet theme which has a mobile site already in the theme. But the mobile site looks terrible for my site. The logo is tiny and the featured posts are all squished to one side. Is there a way I can adjust the appearance of my mobile site?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello,

  With the Custom Design upgrade you can use CSS to modify how your theme looks and behaves both for mobile devices and on desktop browsers.

  Cheers!

  Hi Thanks for getting back!
  I have the custom design upgrade. I can’t fix the appearance of the mobile site. My logo is really tiny at the top and the featured posts are all squished to one side. How can I adjust this?

  One place to look that might make for an easy fix would be “Mobile” under the “Appearance” section of the left hand admin menu for your blog. In there you can enable/disable the mobile theme for your site.

  I’m not a CSS expert, mobile or otherwise, so you probably want to find someone who knows this stuff to help you out. But this seems like it’ll go a long way towards fixing the layout (at least on my iPhone in portrait orientation)

  @media only screen 
  and (max-width : 480px)
  and (orientation : portrait) {
    body.home.themes-sidebar3-inactive.themes-category-summaries-active.themes-sidebar1-active .main-post-list {
      width: auto;
    }
  }

  For, undoubtedly better, help past this I suggest consulting some CSS/mobile experts.

  Cheers!
