In the ongoing battle of site improvements and shoring up security, I finally managed to scratch a long-standing itch and signed the soylentnews.org domain. As of right now, our chain is fully validated and pushed to all our end-points.
Right now, I'm getting ready to dig in with TheMightyBuzzard to work on improving XSS protection for the site, and starting to lay out new site features (which will be in a future post). As with any meta post, I'll be reading your comments below.

Will this help? Good question!
I've seen this construct before, but never really looked into it. I followed that link, as well as: https://css-tricks.com/probably-use-initial-scale1/ [css-tricks.com] and have passed these on to TheMightyBuzzard. Hopefully he'll be able to make use of it. I might be able to play around with it a bit, but I'm working the next few days, so it may be a while before I can try anything. I've done some CSS stuff, but it is not my forté, so I can make no promises.
Thanks for passing this along!

I know it's poor form to reply to myself, but I made a quick test update to https://dev.soylentnews.org/ [soylentnews.org] and included this line in the headers:
Then reloaded the dev server's home page as well as a couple story pages... and saw no change at all in how the pages displayed. (This was using Chrome on Android.) Loaded the same pages using Pale Moon on Win 7 Pro x86; saw no changes there, either. (Yes, I did view the page source and confirmed that the code had been added.) TheMightyBuzzard looked at the site on his mobile browser and said that he did not see any change, either. At that point, I backed out the change and returned the site to its previous functionality.
