 * Using base64 encoded data in a theme or plugin PHP file is a no-no that would
   get an author a speaking to. But that is _NOT_ what is happening here. 😉
 * The 2 files that have base64 data are CSS style sheet into.
 *     ```
       my-post-list-with-offline-reading/mobile/style.css line 208
       my-post-list-with-offline-reading/mobile/style.css line 247
       ```
   
 * And each of those lines start with this:
 *     ```
       background-image:url(data:image/png;base64,...
       ```
   
 * Note I didn’t paste the whole base64 PNG data as that’s not necessary and really
   hoses up the post formatting.
 * Base64 in the CSS file is just another way of loading the images. That’s a fine
   use for that code and is perfectly alright.
