New Site, New Site I Even Love Saying the Word Site
So, I got a bit bored and stuff. For no particular reason, I thought I might have a go at redoing the design for this blog. I like what I’ve ended up with. It’s well serious.
It was an experiment with trying to get the markup as minimal as possible. I’ve only used three divs, the rest is all nice semantic stuff. The next step is to actually get it to validate as XHTML 1.1. This might be a bit tricky since every link needs to have a title attribute — eeek! — and the source needs to start with the XML prolog. The last is a tricky one. Many many browsers and servers just blow up when trying to serve an XML doc using the text/html mime-type — which is derived from the extension.
Validation seems positively quiotic sometimes. I shouldn’t say it less the standards-types beat me up, but I really don’t see the point of many of the requirements in the spec. So rather than fussing about it, I figure I’ll just work to keep things neat, tidy and consistent.
That will have to do.
