Hi Sir Michael,

I did this site http://www.ioacjci.org and it validates both xhtml and css, and also feeds. I agree when you said “i like the feeling that I have done something right”…Same as me, i love that feeling too, something that gives you a tap on the back and a little boost to yourself. Something that you should be proud of.

Thanks for these insights.

Sure that you write is not realy important.You got a lot misstakes in your css code.
Time will show that valid Code sites/blogs get a better standing.

Just posted about this myself – reminding myself why standards are good – but it’s really annoying to find sites that flout all the rules, especially new ones that do well in the search engines – sometimes feel you’re wasting your time.

W3 Standards are the standards which should be followed. It is not as hard to follow these simple web standards it enhances the speed as well as the look of any web site.

I generally make the sites and work to get the web standards.

I always make sure that my code is valid and W3C Compliant, its annoying when you miss a div tag or you have an empty tag with something in it like flash and you don’t put anything in the tag and it gets rid of it when you clean up your site

My blogs do have a valid code, and it feels great even though it’s just XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

Gavin,
If you like doing it, and it makes you happier about the design, then it sounds like reason enough to me.

I like to validate my code. It might not be the best reason to validate, but i gives me a feeling of well being to see the ‘green’ validation confirmation, and to know i am doing things right. Just helps to get rid of those little silly errors and improves your markup skills
