There should be a link to the mobile site from the main one

Title:
There should be a link to the mobile site from the main one

Area:
www.dreamwidth.org/mobile

Summary:
People using mobile browsers (whether restrictive ones, or fully capable ones on small screens) have the option to use the "mobile" version of the site. But, they have no way to know this. Provide a link.

Description:
I recently discovered www.dreamwidth.org/mobile via a support request (thanks firefoxfey!).
It may be that browsers that can't cope with the standard page are automagically sent here (are they? I've no way to test), but many smartphone browsers nowadays can cope technically with the standard page, but suffer layout-wise.

It should be made obvious to the mobile user that they have the option of the /mobile site, but the option to use either should be retained (and possibly remembered?).
