Ah, I should have known to hold my tongue! :)

I pushed a patch up to a new "old-image" branch in the orgweb
repository, but it seems you've now taken care of this independently so
please feel free to delete that branch.

One of my preferred layout looks something like the following, which can
lead to a small windows for Firefox.

    +----------------+---------------+
    |                |               |
    |                |               |
    |   Firefox      |   Emacs       |
    |                |               |
    |                |               |

There is a huge difference in readability between those websites which
take variable window size into consideration and those which assume a
large screen (or a full screen browser).  I'll take a shot at changing
the CSS in the orgweb repository to facility smaller layouts (I guess
some special CSS for mobile browsers may also make sense).

...looking...

It looks like making the Org-mode website responsive to the viewers
window size should be as simple as adding a couple of "@media" guards
[1] to the css page.  I may have time to tackle this over the weekend.
I do need some help compiling the Org-mode web page from the git
repository.  Is there an org-mode publishing project which I should
define locally?  In general how are the many file in orgweb compiled
into the site?

Thanks,
