If you’re a returning visitor to blomg you might notice some changes to the design.

The juicy technical details are:

• It contains no jQuery
• It doesn’t use px for any of the units of size
• It only has JavaScript to highlight code snippets, and Google Analytics
• It’s based around your browser font size starting at 16px (and then it’s 1.125* that to make an 18px base font size)
• It’s hopefully very light, so great for mobile
• It’s responsive

I’ve had some great opportunities to play with stripping away useless fluff, using some fancy css3 (such as :target!), and planning the page structure so that the layout translates well to mobile responsively.

Try resizing your browser, I’ve added breakpoints at 1200px, 1024px, and 800px.

I’ve factored out some bits of code into Jekyll template includes, to reduce code duplication in my templates.

I’ve also spent some time going through all of the old posts on here, many of which were still using some messy HTML from way back when the blog was hosted on Tumblr, and bringing them up to scratch to use Markdown, and deleting some that were no longer useful.

I’m sure there will be some issues here and there, so if you spot anything odd, and you care enough, feel free to let me know!
