Spent a better part of today updating the theme of my blog... For a long time I wanted to replace the cold blue colors with something nicer and warmer, and I'm pleased with the result. At the same time it's a little bit sad because for the first time since this blog existed I completely abandoned the white-panel-over-blue-gradient style I've faithfully carried through 4 different blog engines. For the comparison, I will include screenshots of the same post with 2011 design and one from yesterday.
While at it, I killed a few sources of unnecessary bloat: applied PurgeCSS to the gigantic Bootstrap stylesheet and replaced 300KiB of js with 311 bytes.
