W3C Validators

Posted at 8:22 pm MST to Technology

I've been testing various aspects of my sites against the official markup Validators provided by the W3C. My RSS and Atom feeds are valid, so they should work for any one who tries to use them.

The actual web markup is another matter: the home pages, which were originally created using Microsoft tools (insert ritual gesture against the evil eye) were a mess, but are now valid international standard XHTML. Which means that MS Internet Explorer will probably choke on it anyway, but that's Microsoft (repeat gesture).

The Cherani pages are fairly clean except for some typos in the markup, which will be fixed shortly: I generated those files myself.

The first edition Mirrors book pages were dumped from a Microsoft tool (repeat ritual gesture... I realy need an official icon for this).

What I need is a validator I can run against the local copy of the websites on my laptop, so I don't need to be constantly uploading to check the progress of my fixes.
