The purpose of this thread is to get feedback on my web site when viewed from a smart phone. It just recently became "responsive," which means that when it is viewed from a smart phone, the text should stay the same size, and the navigation items should be moving down at the bottom of the page, yet working normally.
Following is the current site which is supposed to work on smart phones, followed respectively by the 2014 WordPress and 2013 html-css that could not as far as I know be read from a smart phone:
For those who want to know more, my Web Site started out as a fixed width site strictly based on html and css. I later migrated to a fixed width WordPress site based on the TwentyTen theme, which I chose because of its backward compatibility with older Internet Explorer browsers.
I discovered recently that there existed a plug in called "Responsive TwentyTen" which could transform my fixed-width site into a variable-width site that moved my top-menu and side-bar menu to the bottom of the page when viewed on a narrow screen such as a smartphone.
So, again, as I said above, I would greatly appreciate it if some of you accessed my site with smart phones and told me if the text is readable (instead of shrinked tiny so the entire site is visible), and if the language switching and navigation widgets at the bottom of the page work properly.
I would also be interested in learning from other webmaster's experience in making their websites smart phone friendly... I am currently working at reshaping my site a little through using a different theme, and also I would like to add some interactive functionalities to it, bearing in mind that I want my site to be available from smart phones and small devices.
For those interested in yet a little bit more background history on how I was helped by Hammer Stone to move from css-html to WordPress site, read the thread titled Technical Platform for Web sites.

- Current smart-phone friendly site (2015 version);
- Previous fixed-width WordPress site (2014 version);
- The Html-Css site I started on line with (2013 version).
