    initial v1  
    55Switching all the icons to SVGs is a possibility. It's not that hard to do, it would just require a rewrite of the social media accounts handler.

    7 At the same time, there's some changes to that handler that I would like to make, especially in regard to using the rel=me microformat. Such a change is more complex than it seems, because right now, social media icons are added via javascript after the page is loaded. Gravatar provides the media links in terms of JSON, but actually serving them directly would require caching that data on our server and building the HTML there. As for the current way of just having javascript add them after the fact.

    9 So there's a fair amount of work here, more than it seems. It's probably worth it in the long run. But it's not going to be a quick fix. OKAY?
