I thought that too assumed my blog fit the criteria. I was wrong; weighed in at just over 100KB too heavy to get in the club.

My guess is the photos.

Exactly, so it's not so much a demonstration of how nice a website fits in 512K as it's about _just not using any media_. Not very interesting imho.

I ran a pretty lightweight blog, but sometimes several .jpg would easily cost >512KB

at least to test your guess
