A screenshot of a blog post in Safari on iOS 6 on iPhone

The front page and the blog pages of webplatform.org look bad on iPhone.  
On the blog pages specifically, such as http://blog.webplatform.org/2012/10/one-small-step/, the paragraphs of the blog post are in a narrow column down the left side of the page.

Screenshot attached.  I'm using Safari on iOS 6 on an iPhone 4S.
Comment 1 Vicki Murley 2012-10-08 18:15:29 UTC 
I see that the viewport content is set to "width=device-width", meaning that the viewport width will be 320px on iPhone.  Most of the divs on this page have a max width of 320px (or they are percentages), so theoretically everything should fit just right.  

However!  There is one style that is hard-coded to a width of 932px:


@media screen
#mw-head .container {
padding-right: 18px;
width: 932px;
}

Although there are other minor style corrections to be made here, this 932px wide div looks to be the primary source of the "skinny column of paragraphs down the left hand side" problem.

Fixed with the other mobile fixes it seems. Please open a new bug report if you find more mobile issues, ideally one separate bug report per issue.
Also, screenshots are generally helpful :)

Thanks Lea!  If I see any new issues, I'll file a separate bug.

(FWIW, I did include a screenshot with this bug report)

Apologies on the screenshot bit; I was tired and I missed it.
