One advantage of the recent changes we made to the web site is that it allows us to do new things we never could have done before. The first such offering is a mobile version of the site, using the styles option available. We are now ready to offer a beta version of the mobile style for everyone to try.
With the previous version of the web site, where everything was done with individual static web pages, this sort of thing would have been impossible. But now that we are running the site under a CMS (content management system), where all the site content is entries in a database that can be accessed and displayed in any number of ways, new choices like this mobile style are possible.
To access the mobile style, scroll to the bottom of the page and find the style chooser drop-down box. Select the mobile beta style and the page will reload in the new style. To navigate within the new style click on the grid map icon in the upper-right corner next to the spyglass search icon.
Please note that not all site features are available in this style. For example, you cannot access the file library but then you're not likely to want downloads on your mobile device. However this is something we intend to add in the future so you can at least browse files.
Please try this new feature with your mobile device and let us know what you think.
For your convenience, here is a direct link to switch to the mobile style:

To get back to the current style, click the "Full Site" link at the bottom of the mobile page.
