 |

I saw the new changes at http://abyssunderground.co.uk and decided my site seriously needs some work. So I got busy (rather, going mad) putting a site together. Browser compatibility will make you pull your hair out...
I took away some tables - though a few remain for now. The layout works nicely on IE6 and Firefox 2.0.
It's live now, so come check it out and tell me what you think!

BTW, you can see the old layout here --> http://stephen.calvarybucyrus.org/old

Looks good, but maybe a darker green?

Back to the topic...
As with my site so far:
- I made sure it was HTML and CSS-valid. That was a headache and a half. That parser can be so picky...
- I also added a background so it's not so white all over.
- I'm in the process of writing the script that will serve the Picture of the Day, which is a humorous comic strip (usually one-panel)
Would anyone else like to incorporate the picture of the day on their site? I can make an easy link for that if there's interest.

The parser isn't picky, its just doing its job :-) It took me 4 days to get my site XHTML1.0 compliant.

Well, in syntax it is valid HTML 4.0 Transitional and CSS (too lazy to identify the version), but I think you've missed the spirit of it. ;)
When you use HTML and CSS together, the idea isn't to validate so much as to separate the style from the content so that if you want to, say, have your website on the left instead of centered you could do so without editing the HTML. CSS also allows you to style elements that might be kind of ugly, like <h1> for titles and <ul> for navigational lists, so that you can have your HTML be semantic.
Nevertheless, it's a step in the right direction towards authoring valid, standards compliant HTML. Maybe in the future you could try a strict doctype (HTML 4.01 is what I recommend, too many don't understand XHTML or its use). I'm likin' the new background. :) |

Because anything with an X in front of it sounds awesome. :lol:
Personally, I don't think its that hard to make things XHTML compliant.

Because some people would like a job in web design, I'm one of those people. If you don't validate it then the employer will think you're just a coding amateur and not up for the job, so he won't even look at you.
