This article was written for Wired Publications’ Webmonkey. Not quite accurately titled, the tutorial shows how PHP can be used to sniff out the color depth of the device requesting an AvantGo page. Using this information, PHP can then be used to send a corresponding image to the browser; so an AvantGo user with a Palm III would get a 2-bit image with black, white, and two shades of grey, wheras an AvantGo user with a Handspring Visor Prism would get a 16-it, 65000+ color image.

I used MovableType 2.64 to manage my weblog from late 2003 through early 2005, and I discovered that one thing the system lacked was a native way to create paged archive listings organized by category.
