Valid, Standard, Web Site

Posted at 9:22 pm MST to Technology

Everything on the sites except the Mirrors first edition stuff is now valid XHTML. Which means Internet Explorer may choke on it, but any browser that follows international standards should have no problems.

I was able to clean things up faster than I had feared because I remembered that there is an XML validation plugin module available for the KATE editor that comes with KDE. It turned out that I can even feed it the weblog (which is generated, not HTML static text) so my turnaround cycle on tweaking things and seeing how much progress I was making toward cleaning things up was very rapid.

I've been doing format tweaks because it is still too hot here to do anything that needs actual thinking. There is something just wrong about having an apartment be 80 degrees Fahrenheit in late November. At least the rain has stopped, so I can open the windows wider and possibly cool things down over night.

I hope we get a cold snap soon. I think I'm like the trolls in Terry Pratchett's books: my brain turns off when it gets too warm. As long as it stays this hot in here I'm not going to make much progress writing fiction.
