[...] Hope this helps, someday I might tackle the issue of actually making your widgets validate. I’m obsessive about valid code and was real surprised when I tackled my blog and found out how many plugins and widgets don’t validate! [...]

I think it has to do with your Feed or Feedburner Barb. I found this thread about it: http://www.fiddyp.co.uk/support/not-pulling-latest-post-t11.html

I have a question here -- how's come the Do Follow's are not up to date? Everywhere I go, How Do You Find the Time to.....? shows up under my comments. That was about 6 or 7 blog posts ago. Hmm..... Barb Hartsook @OverCoffeeBlog’s last blog post..How Do You Find the Time to……..?

Ha… don’t even think I’ll go there yet. I do need some counsel, though. Will have to PM you from somewhere.

It was a bear but I’m glad I have most of it straightened out

Hi Sliloh, This sounds terribly complicated and clever. I think I will stick to letting wordpress do it all for me (though it's time I updated my website, I must say). quirkyartist’s last blog post..More handmade boxes

I do all my page editing in notepad++ and the tricky part was matching up all of the div’s since some of them don’t close on each page but in the footer.

Yeah I’m surprised with all the plugins and widgets that don’t validate. I’m sure they can be made to.

I’d just like to make the ones I have work AND validate. I think I’m somewhat obsessive about it And I love coding can sit here happily for hours doing that.

Saw your post about this in Twitter. (The TinyUrl took ages to locate the page, but I suppose it’s very busy.) I sometimes validate my main website pages, and get Dreamweaver to put them in XHTML (or is it XML?) Transitional – but never thought to validate my blog. Interesting! Will have a go, though I don’t know if I dare tinker too much with the code if I find faults, as I only know ‘Get By In HTML’!

Thanks for posting about it. I am shocked that WordPress stuff is so poorly written! You would have thought that the programmers would take a bit more trouble.

See you next LVS session!
