I can see a lot of opinions & comments on the QR part and, with respect, I’d like to add that I’m reading this post on a device where I’d like to view the site on the same device, so a QR isn’t best for this platform.

I’d go a little further and say that QRs and really only useful for a mediim where you want the user to use a 2nd device (printed media, BSODs, etc)

Also putting the URL in the (for my reader) non-clickable alt-text doesn’t help either

Again, with respect, you’re making it harder for your audience to reach you, not easier.
