Thanks Markus,

This looks good - and it is reassuringly straightforward to switch the
theme now that the content is converted (and mostly looks fine).

I agree the edge of the black background logo looks a little rough -
I don't know what Leighton did for the Twitter background image
but that might be a better starting point?

Also code syntax colouring isn't working - but don't spend long on that:

Currently I'm trying the hyde theme out, which since it has a sidebar
is a bit more like the old MediaWiki layout, e.g.

http://biopython.github.io/wiki/SeqIO

Do you know enough CSS to get the Biopython logo into the sidebar?

Do you have any ideas for embedding an RSS/Atom news feed?

Regardless of which theme we end up picking, I think we should
be able to switch to the GitHub pages site shortly - its much better
than no website, even if the downloads remain offline a bit longer.

P.S. I did find and fix a minor glitch with some of the cookbook
entries: https://github.com/biopython/biopython.github.io/issues/5
