IBM Equal Access A11y Checker caught an <aside> without a label. Figured
this was a good opportunity to instead use the site description.
While I was at it, I expanded said site description and used it
properly.
Explicitly mark RSS feeds as "legacy" because I have joined the A-Town
Atom gang and they have a strict full-time attendance policy.
Thanks Forever for pointing out the spelling/grammar error here.
- Remove XHTML content-type meta header from HTML documents, reverting
back to the meta charset
- Give XHTML documents their own XHTML declaration
- Remove now-redundant meta charset from XHTML
- Since XHTML and HTML documents differ now, compress after running
xhtmlize and make xhtmlize only act on uncompressed files.
- Validate XHTML using vnu
The site now has polygot markup and can handle both XHTML5 and HTML5
parsing rules. My staging site will be XHTML but my main site will be
HTML5, just in case of parse errors.
If other tools (e.g. LightHouse) end up supporting XHTML5, I'll consider
switching the content-type to XHTML.
I go out of my way to make sure the site works on viewports well under
240 CSS pixels wide. Some pages are very long, so a single mistake in
one part of the page shouldn't cause small text throughout the page.
Add an RSS feed for notes. Next up, replacing the RSS navlink with a
page containing links to both my posts and notes RSS feeds. When I get
ATOM and WebSub, it'll have links ot those too.
Also fixed some typos and switched "Posted" to "Noted" in the context of
notes.
Allow specifying open graph images for individual pages. Change default
site-wide open graph image alt-text to an empty string since the default
image only has visual value, and is better off hidden from assistive
technologies.
Set an open graph image for two articles.
- Identify the transcript with a subheading, ending in a period so that
the aria-description separates the identifier from the concept.
- Put the transcript in a <section>
- Snuck in a trivial syntax fix for the generator element.
- Better print stylesheet, now with a file dedicated just for print
style improvements.
- Hide extra stuff in print.
- Bring back navbar for print because it also tells users the current
section and the site name.
- Dark theme: make superscripts bold instead of using a higher-contrast
color.
- Don't auto-minify HTML but minify other resources, inc. the RSS feed
- Manually optimize whitespace a little to balance readability and
compressed size
All pages except bookmarks can now fit on your smartwatch without any
adjustments, so we can disable the auto-zoom-out-to-match-mobile
wizardry that watch browsers do (comparable to the
zoom-out-to-match-desktop stuff that early mobile browsers did).
Yay.
No browser I know of falls back to a PNG when given an SVG with a PNG
fallback. The Tor version of my site uses no SVGs.
Exclude the SVG favicon in the Tor version of the site, since the Tor
Browser disables SVG on the safest setting.
- SearchMySite.net uses the "keywords" meta property to categorize
sites, so include keywords on the homepage
- Exclude the published date if it doesn't exist.
- apple-touch-icon not needed, will be fetched from doc root
- re-order <head> elements to optimize for compression algorithm size
savings. shaved off like 15 bytes. this was a good use of my time.
- Remove reference to unused syntax.css
- Stop Apple's magic phone-number-linkification. If I need to link a
telephone number I'll use a tel: URI, thank you very much.
