# Control over responsive layout

 * I am reasonably proficient at HTML and CSS (and can cope with php a bit) and 
   I’m looking at how to control the various changes that occur once the site in
   viewed on a mobile device (or a “thinly” re-sized browser). I am happy with how
   everything looks in a full size browser but things go a little south on a mobile.
 * Can someone please point me to some documentation that will show me how I can
   position and re-size certain elements on my site when in “mobile” mode.
 * I believe this is all to do with “responsive” layout. In short, how do I control
   it, where are the docs for this, do they exist? If not, which files in the theme
   do I look at? Will bringing them into a child theme and editing them work in 
   the usual way?
 * TIA
 * Richard
