Ach damn. Practically recoded half the Responsive theme by now to fit to my needs. Great for the next site though.
 
Studiopress has some nice ones too... They are paid, but that's easiest way to not have the same shit as everyone else!

Grrrr... I guess the only time you chaps will hear it loud and clear is the day our esteemed member changes his name to "Fluid Gridstone" !
 
once again, this place proves why it's a waste of time to visit any other webmaster forum. Paid or otherwise.

My first thought when I saw this thread was that you had ripped Fatbat's list from that thread. Looks like yours are WP only. There is some good info over there. Here's Fatbat's.

Autofill FTW. I'm seeing more and more younger friends exclusively surf on their phones and tablets. Some don't even own desktop computers. They're going to need to get their info into your site at some point to be able to log in on return visits to be able to check out quickly, using one click for example. But they're all pretty good at typing on these devices, so it's not a big deal to have them fill out a form. Just be sure that your form is user friendly for the small screen or they might go elsewhere!

The article InternetAuthor posted talks specifically about ecommerce transactions, but it's estimated that at some point this year, maybe around August, that more than 50% of all internet browsing will be done on mobile devices. So even if you're not running an ecommerce business, it would be wise to make your websites mobile friendly.

Every site I make now is mobile friendly. There has been an incredible amount of material written in the last year about making mobile friendly sites. I might recommend starting with these two books...

A Book Apart, Responsive Web Design

A Book Apart, Mobile First

(while you're there, pick up some of their other titles, they are all excellent)

Beyond that, there are a shit ton of HTML/CSS frameworks out there that will provide you with a base that you can work off of...

Bootstrap
HTML5 Boilerplate: The web's most popular front-end template < not responsive out of the box
Initializr - Start an HTML5 Boilerplate project in 15 seconds! < roll your own responsive version of the above, can combine Bootstrap with Boilerplate
Skeleton: Beautiful Boilerplate for Responsive, Mobile-Friendly Development
Golden Grid System
320 and Up ‘tiny screen first’ responsive web design boilerplate
Simple Grid
Less Framework 4
Frameless
The 1140px CSS Grid System · Fluid down to mobile
Responsive Web Design just got Easier with the Responsive Grid System
Responsive Grid System
34 Responsive Grid System
Zen Grids: a responsive grid system built with Compass and Sass
SimpleGrid
Gumby 960 Grid Responsive CSS Framework
Foundation: The Most Advanced Responsive Front-end Framework from ZURB

I could go on, but you get the point. Mobile friendly websites are a pretty big deal and if you don't adapt you will be left behind.

I don't think you get it dude. Look at the timeline of posts in both threads. The other thread turned into cum dripping animes by the time I challenged you. There was good shit in that thread unitl then.

I was saying...yours was a good thread to combine with that one, less the cock pounding cartoons from the other. InternetAuthor was making a better point than where the thread went in my opinion.
 
It's midnight here, but tomorrow I shall do the copy/paste donkey work involved to bring all the content into this thread then. ok? It's a useful resource, and I'll happily contribute where I can.

Better still would be to delete the posts that are shit and merge the two threads?

No, you're cool. I think we all know what we're doing. I'm just talking to my mod who's been here since the beginning and thinking I'm being a dick.
