Validate This!

Well what can I say. I've spent the week nailing down the design for the 409 site, and so far so good. Professor Max Utsler even commented that the photo graphics I put together look very good. I'll link to the page when it's completed. Like I said, I'm doing the design; Staci is doing the web building. My eyes are sore after yesterday's three-hour stint looking through code. I worked my little eyeballs dry converting quotation marks, apostrophe and commas -€“ punctuation that in geek terms is called non-SGML language -€“ into code all in the name of XHTML transitional validation. I still don't understand why I'm testing the correctness of the code on stuff for the upcoming contests. For the Kansas Professional Communicators Communications Competition, the judges will be evaluating the web site on Internet Explorer, so it's not like they are technologically saavy enough to know if a tag is closed properly. Oh well, it's done now. And Staci can sleep better at night knowning there are 20 less XHTML errors. Good night!
