When on mobile, the left sidebar is hidden by default. To make navigation easier, we allow the user to browse
the site entirely through the various index sections which provide links to all articles. This wasn't working
for the About and Blog links at the top of the page since they send you to a direct page instead of to the
relevant navigation page. So...
- Made the About link point to the about section's index page.
- Each blog page now contains a link to the next and previous blog post.
Fixes#837
But we need probably some replacement text
We can’t anyway link to master with line numbers, that wasn’t working
even before we deleted the files

Four major themes to this work:
* Performance. This new site is fast. It loads considerably faster, especially on mobile.
Every pixel is drawn exactly once. Clicking around doesn't result in things jiggling everywhere.
* Navigation. I wanted to make it easier to get around the site, especially on mobile. To that end, we now have:
- Sticky navigation elements. The top nav bar, the left sidebar and the right TOC are now sticky and remain
on screen even as page content is scrolled.
- Tabs in the Docs section have been removed and integrated as accordion items in the left sidebar.
* Layout. I moved a bit of content around to make it easier to find and give us some room to grow:
- The Help page is now replaced with a full Help section. This provides a home for the FAQ, glossary,
bug reporting, and troubleshooting pages.
- The About page is now replaced with a full About section. This provides a home for the release notes, roadmap, upcoming "in the news" section, etc.
* Design. I tried to improve consistency across the site and provide a slightly lighter feel by minimizing the impact of some design elements. Specifics:
- Font sizes are now consistent across the site.
- The site does a much better job at adjusting to different screen sizes which makes the mobile experience better.
- Accessibility is improved by adding many attributes for screen readers, and by ensuring the site scales properly based on user-selected fonts.
