Update links to use https:// where it is supported. There's probably a lot
more that could be fixed, but these are the core ones I found (especially
the download links in order to prevent MITM attacks). Note that there are
some fb.me links that will redirect to http:// even while accessed over
https://, but this seemed like the best way to fix those for now.
NOTE: Only non-third-party files were modified. There are references to
http:// URLs in vendored/third-party files, but seems appropriate to fix
upstream for those rather than editing the files.
Also, copy one image locally to the blog, as it was hotlinking to a site
that did not support https://.
Last, use youtube-nocookie.com instead of youtube.com for video embeds,
as the former doesn't try to set a cookie on load (privacy enhancement).
I find myself often using (modified) examples to test in IE and it's a pain to have to add the shims in every time. Might as well just add them in always.
The initial thought was that an opacity animation from 0.01 to 1 causes trouble on some browser. But after testing on opera 12.15, ff 23, ie 10, chrome 30, desktop/mobile safari 7 and chrome android I confirm this works.
