It seems the only way to be completely “Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict” is to find some stripped down template, remove every widget and everything in the widget, put them back one by after removing all the non-validating code ( for me that was everything ).
I really didn’t have time to play with it as much as I would have liked, I have too much reading to do, so I will continue tomorrow.
So far I know the “bloglog widget” had to go; it made quite a mess of the code; it was pretty ugly anyway, so no big deal there.
The only things left here are the things I’ve already tested and changed. I’ll work on getting the rest back tomorrow. Eventually I’ll put a few themes in the theme switcher for those of you who get bored easily, they most likely won’t be XHTML 1.0 Strict, and now that I realized they should be it will bug me not to have it so.
I like white teeth, clean toenails and I like to pass those validation tests.
I have been trying to comment for a bit but could not get in! Aarrgh!
I am sorry to hear of your template woes and troubles! May it work out soon but I, for one, am thankful that your words are here to stay!!!
So here are my thoughts on this and that…
Nazanin’s case is something we have followed from the beginning… the sad thing is that her story is one of waaaay too many and hers got told, which is a blessing, but to know any Iranian from Iran is to have a link to many Nazanins… it is a ridiculous system, it is a ridiculous world and it is utter and absolute shit and it simply makes my blood boil and my soul ache…
I got Emily’s email too… it was heartbreaking and though I am selfishly glad to have her back I wish it would have been under better circumstances…
Life makes no sense sometimes and we can just take it all a day at a time and hope for the best and not crumble to the crap that it dishes out so we can keep fighting the fight for ourselves and in the name of those who cannot…
Besos to you my friend!
Uh, good luck with that, whatever it was about.
If you want the Doo-Doos for whatever equally mysterious reasons, please send a mailing address to my e-mail.
Tx.
Sheesh. No wonder you don’t sleep nights (apart from the “patriarchy” factor, of course
). I had to google this, not least because the last time I hacked my own code was before you were born (well, almost). What’cha gonna do when they release XHTML 2.0? Forget anthropology and go into programming? 
Agreed on making sure everything is in order. Agreed. Agreed. Agreed.
Does that make us perfectionists? I submit it simply means that we care enough to do our very best in everything.
This looks nice, but I miss your cartoon face.
web design codes are beyond my ken. I can’t even get a simple button-link set up. So, no matter what you do, I am awed.
Do what, now?
Mizzy B: One day at a time.
weirsdo: uh, you mean like my real mailing address? lol
OC: I sleep very little when in school although I hope to sleep more this term; it certainly doesn’t keep me up, but I tend to play with it in between reading and whatever else I have to do. Kind of like a cigarette break.
Dan: I know, my penchant for order will never end.
jacob: she may be back if I can get her code validated although this is nice a restful for now.
coyote: This isn’t even web site code this is just the code in the side bar. If I have a template that doesn’t validate I can’t use them because I don’t do the work to make them I use other peoples templates, and couldn’t even imagine the time it would take to fix that.
Doug: Everyone should be validated. In every way not just here.
I would read you even if you failed all your validations.
You forgot one thing.
“I don’t care for blonds, even if they have nice teeth and good toenail maintenance.”
The good old dead-journal / live-journal days, when no one cared about validation of any kind.
