First things first. This website now validates for both CSS 2.1 and XHTML 1.0 Strict. That took quite a bit of scrubbing of my previous markup of silly things I did, like not nesting input elements within a block-level element or having improper markup for ampersands in the HTML (like using & instead of the correct &). Most of the errors in my markup were very minor and most can be attributed to the Twitter and Flickr widgets I was using. My CSS was nearly spotless except for a single error, my defining the list-style-type with an erroneous value of bullet as oppose to the correct disc.
I got so giddy in excitement that I walked down to Isaac’s room to announce to him that my blog’s CSS and HTML markup validates. But apparently, there are other things I can still do to make my website even more kick-ass in the back-end.
