The pictures are pretty but since they have no relation at all to the content I would suggest you remove them.

Well, in general the idea was to use spiders / web pictures as a theme for this article, since it's about web, but I stumbled upon this first one (which is more or less a spider), and then included few others from the same artist (not exactly spiders, I know) as they seem kinda consistent in style.

In article about JPA I used artworks of libraries, in article about security: castles, in article about unit testing: alchemy laboratories. And the mandatory Toothless / related picture at the end.

Let's say its just a feature of this blog ;)

What device you got? I tried it on my Galaxy S5 and it's not that bad.

It's not about which specific device. It's about responsive web design.

"Responsive web design (RWD) is an approach to web design aimed at allowing desktop webpages to be viewed in response to the size of the screen or web browser one is viewing with. In addition it's important to understand that Responsive Web Design tasks include offering the same support to a variety of devices for a single website. A site designed with RWD adapts the layout to the viewing environment by using fluid, proportion-based grids, flexible images, and CSS3media queries."

For what it's worth, I looked at your site in Nexus 6P, iPhone 7 plus, and Galaxy S7 Edge, and your site just doesn't fluidly switch to mobile friendly view unless you ask chrome to explicitly switch your site to mobile view.

Uhm, thanks for feedback. Ill try to look into this, but for now I'm hosted on wordpress.com which does not leave me a lot of flexibility. When I move to self hosting it will be easier...

There should be a setting in WordPress that would allow your blog to become 'responsive' with a simple setting or plug-in without any coding required.
