Right, so I’ve rewritten the theme files for the blog, migrating to HTML 5 conventions. The result, by the way, is much leaner code: the total weight of the new version is down from roughly 90KB to roughly 60KB (that’s the total size of all theme files, including such things as the screenshot and some pretty seldom visited page alternatives. The page overhead is much lower still. Quite incredible the number of nested divs and florid class attributes that I managed to throw away — and I haven’t yet done a ghost-class hunt, which I expect will thin out the code even yet still more. The ghost class hunt sounds much more fun than it actually is.
I think I will take tea before getting into that. Do make some noise if you find something on this page not working as perhaps it ought.
