Awesome!

This has been on the todo list for a while (the blog is all static hand
written HTML at the moment). I made separate pages as requested just now and
they're online. Should make linking easier (just click on the article headings
on the blog front page).

No we don't have a sponsor offering that at the moment (I'd be delighted if we
did). Which archived mail gave you that impression?

Good point, I'll speak to Anna who made the video about getting it changed.

I guess you're referring to the blog (gnupg.org is HTTPS accessible, but
blog.gnupg.org is not)? The new site will host the blog on a single (not sub)
domain, so all pages will be reachable by an encrypted connection. Does that
answer your question?

Best,

Sam.
