it's probably an interesting read except that being hosted on google's blogspot means it only display blank pages due to content being embedded in some javascript shenanigans.

Even a screenshot would be better than this.

Please move on to some actual html website that just works or rehost the content elsewhere before posting it here. Thanks.

I used to be one of These Guys who never used JavaScript, too, but honestly? It's 2012 and JavaScript is a thing pretty much everywhere worth targeting. Demanding that somebody cater to your microsegment is a little much.
Although I'm the kind of guy who usually have JS disabled I could be made to see your point. But this page is actually a good example of why I run with JS disabled. It magically positioned links and boxes over the scrolling bar and caused my initial attempt at scrolling down to navigate away from the page.

Disabling JS usually have the effect of doing away with such nonsense but here that is no option.

This time it was worth the hassle since it was an interesting article, but I definitely prefer it when JS is optional.

Google's blogspot allows you to do normal html blogs (maybe now they've made this their "default", but still, it's OP's choice to have it this way)

My attempts to read this on my phone were futile. Every time I tried to scroll, it just jumped back to the top immediately.
