validation

in continuation of a previous post (01.06.06), i am taking more steps towards reaching my ultimate goal for the layout and “behind the scenes” functioning of this site. i tried to validate all the (x)html and css both here and at my other mini-site. it wasn’t as daunting of a task as i assumed it would be, thanks in part to my recent test drive of Dreamweaver.

I’ve switched my scripting style from tables and font tags to divs and classes. It seems to have paid off as far as validation is concerned, as i only had to make a few changes to get things in order. The css for miniondesign.com is still off, but i excuse that as it’s also an experiment and because i’m trying to figure out how to make some decent drop shadows.

the main reason that i validated the code was to make sure that when the time came, i wouldn’t have any problems if this site had to interact with anything. i was thinking that i could either continue as i was going (slowly but surely) and figure out how the hell to make this thing work, or i could opt to tweak a wordpress theme to make it work and act like i envision this site once finished.

for now, this site will remain fairly “static”. i don’t have much more to do here until i get the “backend” things together.
