Made some more progress on my style-sheet and page layout. My apologies to anyone that was here a few hours ago when the page was just a mess.
I managed to get the front page to validate as XHTML 1.1. Serendipity, the technology behind this blog site, have an admin option to turn on XHTML 1.1 compliance, and I just had to see how well it worked.
Well it wasn’t valid, but the errors were very minor: an extraneous slash here, a couple of incorrect attributes there, etc… Like I said; minor. All in all, I was a little surprised there were so few errors. Tentative thumbs up to Serendipity.
And that’s just the front page. I haven’t yet validated any of the other pages. That’ll take me awhile, as it’s pretty boring to do…
And while I’m ranting, you’d think if they write that Serendipity supports PostgreSQL databases that they’d, oh I don’t know, actually test it. Comments were broken straight out of the box, so I had to fix that.
Over the next days and weeks, I’ll be slowly redesigning the CSS style-sheet used to display the content on the site (maybe I’ll even allow visitors to choose their own style… some day).
Hey, my first blog entry. Remind me again… what’s the big deal with these blog thingies?
