    I finally came up with an alternative way to style vertical lists of links on narrow screens. Instead of going the iOS way (left-aligned, borders above and below, arrow icon on the right) or the Windows Phone 7 way (left-aligned, no borders or arrow icon, fill space with larger font-sizes), I aligned the link's contents along a vertical axis (placed at 33% of the screen's width in this case).

    Since the link's contents align with each other along the axis, "solidifying" the entire item, no borders are needed, and since the contents aren't fully left-aligned, there's no need to balance the link by sticking an arrow icon on the right side.

    This pattern can pretty easily be scaled up to slightly wider mobile layouts as well: font-sizes can be changed to fill up the extra space, and the axis can be moved (to 38% for example) to shift the balance.

    There are only two cons I can think of:
    1. If the viewport grows too wide in proportion to the list's visible mass, I'll have to limit its width to avoid having the links fire from accidental taps in the margins surrounding them.
    2. Each link needs at least two elements inside it, since there needs to be some sort of a counterweight on the left side of the axis. In this shot, it's the timestamp, but it could also be an icon or a thumbnail, for example.

    I just love how… casual it feels.

    Instead of adding comments or begging people to tweet about my posts, I thought I'd provide link to a Twitter search for the URL of the post. No idea if it'll work, but hey.

    Has anyone tried this before? Any suggestions for alternative wording?

    @Tim Brown Thanks. :) I'd still like to work on the colours and some aspects of the layout. I would really like to pull this layout off without all the dividing lines….

    @Cesar Figueroa Didn't seem to work on Firefox. I'm being told nothing else works either. Oh well.

    I don't suppose there's an equivalent attribute that would fix the blurriness in Firefox?
