Forced beginnings for mobile devices

Now that I’ve gotten a Blackberry — a satisfying device so far — I’ve found just what a drag it is to view JOHO on a tiny screen. To get to the blog posts, you have to scroll through an eternity of left column stuff.

Is there a way in HTML to flag which element should display first on a device? I’d like to be able to specify that the top of the middle column is the best place to start if you’re on looking at this page on a tiny screen.

Yes, I could put a name tag such as “start_here” where I want and load the url www.hyperorg.com/blogger/index.html#start_here. But everyone else would be stuck scrolling through from the beginning when they probably really came for the middle column. So, is there a general solution to this problem? [Tags: ]
