I would start with a little 'hello world' chtml page.  Put it on the
server and make sure your phone can see it.  Once you have established
that the connection is ok and the phone is able to display the content
you can start to modify the pages.  From what I understand, chtml is
stripped down html, and doesn't support certain tags.  You will
probably need to remove things like tables and images (depending on
the model phone you have).  Start reading through some of the chtml
specs to see what needs to be changed.

Also, some emulators have debug output to help you determine what
problems have occurred.
