If the user's config doesn't have [params.sidebar] defined they get
errors when trying to build the site. It's better if we just check
that this config block is defined before trying to use it, and then
add something to the docs telling people that the site looks really
bad without this defined.
Bring the Disqus comments inside the <article> tag. The article has
a sizeable bottom margin seprating it from the blog footer, and if
Disqus comments are active they appear after this margin, and this
looks ugly.
Semantically, I think the comments should actually be inside the
article tag anyways (since they are directly related), as well as
further wrapped in article tags, but we don't control the code that
Disqus injects so we'll have to make do with this.

Prepending the site's URL to relative links was a hack but at the
time I couldn't understand why href="#" didn't take us to the top
of the page. It turns out that this was because of the <base> tag
that I have now removed.
It was screwing up relative links like the ones in footnotes. I'm
not sure why I added it in the first place, actually, as the docs
specifically say "specifies the base URL to use for all relative
URLs contained within a document".

* Add Vim modeline comments to all relevent template files.
* Add Vim modeline comments to a few other files.
* Move modeline comments inside the template definitions in list and single.
For some odd reason, putting them outside breaks the page generation.
* Use template comments for modeline comments in templates.
* Fix form 2 modelines.
Set the cookie_consent_info_url parameter in your site's config to
display a message about cookie usage to your users. See the config
in `exampleSite/config.toml` for more info.
We are explicitly using the site's RSS feed, but after reading the
Hugo RSS docs I think it's better if we use the contextual version
of the RSSlink. This will make the RSS plumbing show a feed for the
current category, tag, section, etc. The example code also adds a
bit of markup to help browsers find the content more easily.

Instead of writing my own logic for metadata and Twitter cards, I
should be using Hugo's own. This makes my theme code cleaner, but
means I have to adjust some of the configuration conventions that
I have been using. An added bonus is that my theme will work with
more sites now, as long as they are using Hugo's config conventions.
Sites only need to add their Google Analytics tracking ID to their
config:
googleAnalytics = "UA-123-45"
This uses the async version of the Google Analytics code.
I had added Google Webmaster verify support but it got lost when I
was re-organizing the head meta stuff. I'm adding it back now plus
support for Bing and Yandex.
In a multilingual context a post's title could be "Title" in English
but «Title» in Bulgarian, and if we apply the Markdown filter to the
title tag, then the language's Black Friday configuration is used,
in this example it would be for the angled quotes.
We already do this everywhere else we can in the post's content, so
let's match it in the page title.
Hugo's own pagination stuff works just as well and probably covers
even more corner cases. Also, this is one less config variable to
have to check because you can just use Paginate (Default: 10).
