I don't like the idea of having reproduced CSS in each page. style.css should be optimal. :)

  It should be, but measurements bear out that it isn't...

    Speed isn't everything to me. I love the fact that for example view-source:http://natalian.org/2015/07/06/Bank_secrecy_in_Singapore/ http://natalian.org/2015/07/06/Bank_secrecy_in_Singapore/ is more readable than most blogs.

      Yes, that's what has kept me from minifying the HTML and the CSS, I figured that since gzip is already on on the server the benefit would be minimal anyway. I'll still try it just to see what difference it will make.

      It's mind boggling to me, as someone who was first introduced to web development in the days of gopher, that most fresh developers don't adequately understand simplicity, but also believe it's a-ok to glue a bunch of js & css libraries together and call it "good enough". The first Java version of an internal app we had converted from Progress 4GL used Java Webstart to dynamically load & launch, and because of programmer laziness (and the 93 3rd party Java components they'd included) it literally took 3 minutes to launch. That was the point where the manager -- who was a better programmer than anyone in the team, but who had previously been hands-off -- stepped in and created some rules and instituted code reviews. Still, though, totally insane behavior by so many young web programmers.
