So apparently Blogger (who hosts this site) only supports SSL on non-custom domains. I get to choose to use either my own "barwis.net" domain, or to support HTTPS, but not both.
My hope is that Google will one day introduce SSL support for custom domains. However, since they haven't done this since they acquired Blogger in 2003, I'm not exactly holding my breath.
poo.
I've found two sites that discuss a partial workaround for this by using Cloudflare, but from what I can tell it requires a non-free Cloudflare account - and it's not that important to me yet. Apart from the Cloudflare solution, I'd love to hear if anybody knows of other ways to get this working. I'll purchase my own cert, of course, but this seems like it should be more straightforward than it's proving to be.
Update, Dec 2018:
I'm not sure when, but it looks like this has changed - custom domains have SSL support. All traffic to this site is now HTTPS-enabled - and any regular HTTP traffic is automatically redirected to HTTPS. Thanks, Google!
