Blazer and the reason for good HTML/CSS

I’ve been experimenting with data access on my Treo 300 for the first time recently, using the Blazer web browser that shipped with it.

Of course, one of the first things I did was pull up this site. Based on what I had heard about browsing on mobile devices, I expected to get a load of unusable junk. What I got was a completely perfect usable, readable rendering of my content and navigation. What do you know — looks like have CSS-based layout and formatting, with valid X-HTML really does payoff in accessibility!

I will never again (well, I haven’t for a long time, but this just reinforces it) have a navigation bar that isn’t a unordered list. I will never again have superfluous content before the guts in the source.

Now, I need to look into a good RSS-feed reader for my cellphone, and I’ll be all set! (BTW, it has to run on PalmOS 3.5 — any suggestions?)
