QuickLinks: Standards, Design Commandments, Wordpress and Nudity

Fadtastic reports that only 94 (22%) of sites belonging to W3C are valid.

Admittedly, having valid HTML is not the most important thing in the world (even though it should be). However, for the W3C, the organisation who makes the standards, there should be some sort of leading by example. The fact that a quarter of the sites had no DOCTYPE declaration and 24% had more than 50 errors is worrying. Still, the article does show how the member sites are improving (slowly) over the years.

Josiah Cole rants about what not to do when building a website and gets it right all 19 times.

I particularly liked this article as I read it after seeing one of the worst websites I have ever come across today. The Halo 3 website fails on several of the points Josiah makes, including 2, 7, 9 and 14. The site makes you load a flash page which has no content on just so that you click a link to find out more which turns out to be a static HTML page. What an experience!

Wordpress 2.1.3 (and 2.0.10) have been released.

I upgraded today, it was painless and will keep my blog safe.

It’s April 5th somewhere in the world, so Naked Day is upon us.

See how nicely my content works, even without all the prettiness of my stylesheets. I think Unintentionally Blank looks good naked, what about you? Are you taking part?
