As a follow up for the recent restructuring and redesigning of the blog and my inability to recognize and assign colors aesthetically, I am announcing a competition to create a couple of graphic items for this blog.

I added a modified version of Feed on Feeds which, for now, just tracks a few of my favourites. This section will need some more work, just a plug for now. PS: the news section can be accessed through the tab on top, right below the blog name header.

Validate forms XHTML 1.0 Strict

Code, XHTML 1.0, XHTML 1.1, XHTML Tips

I ran into some trouble with the forms validation because I was using a javascript:document.formname.submit() which would require a name for the form. As it turns out, form name is deprecated in XHTML 1.0 Strict and XHTML 1.1. In other words <form name=”blah” … > is not valid in XHTML 1.0 Strict and XHTML 1.1. To get around this issue, I used <form id=”blah” … > and in my link I used javascript:document.forms[‘blah’].submit(); which validates correctly. Also, to get around the carriage return problem in input tags of forms (for input tags to validate correctly in XHTML 1.0 Strict and XHTML 1.1, they have to surrounded by <p> or h1 etc. ) I surrounded my inputs by (gasp) fieldsets and then hid it by styling the fieldset so I could get them all in one line. Im sure a lot of people know about these already, but this is for […]

A (hopefully) non-instrusive redesign to fix some complaints I have received about the blog. The categories are better described, the top navigation gets you to the important parts of the site and the ads have (again, hopefully) become less obtrusive. There is one more feature that I would like to add which is a news section. That is currently being worked on and should be online soon. I know I have made some more mistakes in trying to fix what was broken, so I would appreciate feedback.
