Maybe a white X is more readable on a dark background?

Overall looks great. But I will say that this PR should include updating the Twitter logo from the show pages as well. That should be as easy as adding another else if to the links.html file.

I may be missing something but I do not see where this new partial is being used

You are correct this was part of another change I was working on to add a drop-down with links to all the services to sub scribe to.

Unfortunately I think that needs to be its own PR. Those icons are from font awesome of which the theme uses Fork Awesome which does not yet include an icon for X. An update to that library would also warrant testing of all icons used on the site.

This change fixes what is now a broken image on the site.

This is still using Wikipedia as a CDN, which might not be very reliable. The file name and path might get changed any time. For example, the Twitter logo has already been removed. Also, it might load slower than a local file.

I agree with the idea of the local files wherever we can, the official twitter logo can be be downloaded here.

We could even reuse the image to potentially replace the twitter icon on the show pages as well. I don't know off hand if that would be simple or not, but might be worth looking into as well since Fork Awesome still has not updated their icons to include the new twitter logo.
