He has a point though – I need to make time to keep my own site as ship shape as I can – I don’t get why people who make the plugin’s can’t generate code that validates though… very odd.

yeah it’s a good point. i do need to validate my sites more often. it must be very frustrating when you help people so much and they can’t even help themselves.

and it was also funny how you owned hmm for his bitchiness. i love it when a smart ass become a stupid dick.

Dear annon poster.

1) it was an emphasis on the sound “oooo” As in Loooooooosers – maybe I should have added more.
2) Most are plugin/wordpress related – I don’t want to waste time re-coding plugins.
3) Unfortunately exceptions have to be made when you use Wordpress plugins, strict can break em.

The point I was making is the validator isn’t a god we have to worship – validation isn’t something you have to aim for and some of the time is impossible to hit and still have a sites working cross browser. Validation however is an awesome tool for finding those bugs!

How very brave of you to post under your true identity – I find your comments so wise and so enlightening…

1. Losers
2. Your page throws 20 validation errors
3. Your doctype is transitional
