I’ve just finished the minor redesign. The default look is now laid out using style sheets rather than HTML tables, although the tables version is still available in case your browser is crap.
Unfortunately the way Blosxom handles assigning the “name” attribute to posts is not XHTML compliant, as it includes slashes. This means that this blog won’t validate. The templates are valid XHTML 1.0 however, so I’ll put up the little “valid” button in this post anyway:
![[Valid xhtml 1.0!]](http://sgp.me.uk/images/valid-xhtml10.png "Sort of valid..."){kind=small}
What with the new year and my resolution to post a bit more often I thought that a bit more effort was needed on the cosmetic front, so I’ve remodelled the look of this blog a little. Nothing particularly revolutionary, but I reckon it looks a bit better. Anyone care to comment?
Not only that but I thought I’d verify the RSS feed too, and since that came out fine, I’ve added one of those neat little valid buttons down at the bottom of the sidebar. You can verify your site’s RSS feed at the rss validator.
Next I suppose I should get the HTML in order, as feeding this page through the W3C’s html
validator produces quite a few errors. One thing at a time…
I was never really happy with calling this blog “Sam’s Online
Journal”, I just had a failure of imagination when setting it
up. But thanks to Polly, it now has a new name – as you can probably
tell. No one else seems to have used it before, judging from a quick
google anyway.
