This blog is powered by WordPress 2.3.2 running on a dedicated CentOS Linux (v4.6) box hosted at Layered Tech. Instead of linking to all the blog entries I've written about WordPress, I'll just link to my search page that will include all current and future WordPress blog entries. Most entries in this blog are hand-coded XHTML directly in the WordPress non TinyMCE interface. Since I'm an pretty bad speller, I do use Microsoft Word for spell and grammer checks and the Textism humane web text generator.
The site uses (or tries really hard to) Web Standards such as XHTML, CSS, OPML, and RSS to reduce the complexity of development while increasing the accessibility and long-term viability of this site, in the spirit of the Web Standards Project. The Web Standards Project is a grassroots coalition fighting for standards that ensure simple, affordable access to web technologies for all. Having said all that, here are some links to validate my XHTML, CSS and RSS - Please don't email me when they don't validate as I've taken liberties with some of the standards to make sure my site displays correctly in Internet Explorer. Just have to wait for IE8 now that it's passes the ACID2 test.
