Also, thanks for the child theme recommendation. I'm looking at that, but it's not something I usually choose to do - it looks like I'll have to recreate the entire site, correct? That feels extreme for such a small display issue. I'll have to research how much work that'll really involve and clear it with the client.

ok, I swear I am not a complete n00b, I've been doing this for quite a while, but I have not yet touched the style.css file. I've been working entirely within the WordPress CMS - I did make edits to the shortcode.php file within the WordPress theme editor section. I am trying to open the style.css file from my Cyberduck/Dreamweaver applications and can't connect to the server, which is really out of the ordinary, so I'm working on that problem now. garble grr.

Yeah, that's the section that caught my eye, too. nuts. I will look into a child theme and post whether it works out. Thanks!

hmm. I'm trying these suggestions, but am having just some sort of disconnect. Whenever I try to add any custom css, my mobile connection to the webpage completely breaks. I am looking for more info.

Also, I'm not convinced I need something like WPtouch, as the problem isn't that there is no mobile version. The theme I'm using (Highend) is responsive. I have also asked on their support forum, but they all see the new site on mobile as they have nothing for it in their cache.
