Hi Julian,

Yeah, i can do that. I've just added it to the todo list. Any other feedback on how to make the site more usable for mobile users would be awesome.

I use this site a lot from my cell phone (mobile browser) to find a coffee shop on-the-go where I can plug in my laptop. I find the site to be really handy -- good job!

My one gripe is that the background image (the brown ring) takes a long time to load over GPRS (and sucks bandwidth). The following modification to the page CSS would alleviate this greatly. If the administrator is listening, I'd appreciate this addition to the CSS:

@media handheld { div#content { background: #fffff7; } }

I searched for contact info, but I can't find it -- this may be by design. If you'd like to get in touch, drop me an email at "em" "you" "ayy" "dee" "dee" "eye" "bee" "two" "kay" @hotmail.com.

The "How do I add a new coffee shop" instructions are lame for those of us older folks who are barely smart enough to get onto the internet. Specifically, the very first instruction is to "Create a new page by linking to it from the Home Page under Coffee Shops"...Huh? How can I link to it if it does not yet exist? I have a location or two to add, but sadly, I don't appear to be smart enough to figure out how to proceed. Will a smarty-pants please enlighten me? Thank you!

Hi there...I wanted to add a cafe, clicked the link and got a message that 'twere forbidden. Maybe I missed something? Anyhoo, Plymouth Cafe on Third and Cherry in downtown has free wifi through Zhonka. Zhonka's been really active, politically and otherwise, in making internet access even more accessible. Plymouth Cafe was started by Plymouth Housing Group, and all profits go to benefit their mission of getting the homeless into permanent housing. Organic coffee, great atmosphere, great food, yadda, yadda. I'll stop the shameless plugging since I'm the manager and chef, and I'm starting to blush. It's there, and the wireless is free. Enjoy.

goodness! indeed a very impressive list of free wi-fi in seattle, but i noted something. nothing really available for people living south of pioneer square! does anyone have any further updates on how to get connected or where to get free wi-fi in south seattle? neighborhoods like rainier valley, beacon hill, columbia city, and cities such as renton, burien, tukwila, etc? any info would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance. PP

I like the inclusion of Pagliacci. I think the key is internet service, not the kind of food. :)

On a different note: I haven't found much in the way of WiFi in the International District but I did find a cafe with free internet access on *their* computers. Should I add it or is the base requirement WiFi?

Hey there. I'm a Seattle freelance writer and would like to write about this site. Kellan (I believe you're the creator?) can you please contact me at windabenedetti@hotmail.com as soon as you get a chance? Thank you!

Alot of Wikis just use a page (or every page) as a discussion. People can create pages for themselves, then "sign" their comments using the WikiWord for their page.

Anyway, C&U is a great resource. Thanks for putting it up. I liked to it from my blog-shaped-thing.

I think places like Pagliacci should be listed too, BTW.

i think they should be listed... think of it more about getting online with wifi in social spaces rather than the fact that they serve soda and bread with tomatoes and cheese instead of bitter water....

hmmm, pagliacci is throwing me into confusion, part of me really wants to limit the site to only coffee shops, what do people think? (probably just talking to myself here)

don't know if this is the right way to integrate a discussion with a wiki, like the rest of this site its an expirement.
