Potty Page

October 3, 2004

Wooo... my index page now validates :-)

The document located at <http://www.bloged.co.uk/> was checked and found to be valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional. This means that the resource in question identified itself as "XHTML 1.0 Transitional" and that we successfully performed a formal validation using an SGML or XML Parser (depending on the markup language used).

Valid XHTML 1.0! To show your readers that you have taken the care to create an interoperable Web page, you may display this icon on any page that validates. Here is the HTML you should use to add this icon to your Web page:

    <p>
      <a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer"><img
          src="http://www.w3.org/Icons/valid-xhtml10"
          alt="Valid XHTML 1.0!" height="31" width="88" /></a>
    </p>

Thanks to this code, you will be able to re-validate your Web page by following the link (click on the image), and we encourage you to do so every time you modify your document.

If you use CSS in your document, you should also check it for validity using the W3C CSS Validation Service.

If you would like to create a link to this page (i.e., this validation result) to make it easier to validate this page in the future or to allow others to validate your page, the URL is <http://validator.w3.org/check? uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bloged.co.uk%2F;verbose=1> (or you can just add the current page to your bookmarks or hotlist).

Time to make sure the archive pages etc validate... and then start on fixing the posts... urgh.

Nice one. I haven't even bothered looking at my archive pages. I've got stuff in there from before XHTML even existed as a sparkle in the W3's eyes, so I dread to think what a mess that lot is! (lol! just checked... my homepage aint validating at the moment either... apparently *matrix style* their is no border) ;o)

Every post on my blog should validate perfectly now.

Managed to write a few scripts that would get the posts from MovableType pass them through tidy and post them back again.

tidy being an html tidier that fixes loads of common problems - most of these being me being lazy and not closing p tags, or using capitalised tags by accident or whatever. Oh and bloody code stolen/given to me from other sites!
