I get your point. Most of the content on the site is UGC. I didn't write it, I just send a link to it if I think it can help. 99% of the people on this list don't know that the site is mine.

Hobby or not, when you publish information on the web without a big message saying "I have no frickin' idea what I'm talking about", you are presenting yourself as an authority on the subject.

That's as may be, but it doesn't mean validation guarantees it'll render "correctly", or even as you expect. -Stut > I think we are a bit OT here :) > I was looking to replace my article system and it looks like many > people prefer to see the one that I have now. > > I'll look at the feedback people post here and decide what to do. > > Thanks to everyone on the input. > > berber > > -----Original Message----- > From: Stut [mailto:stuttle@xxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2007 9:34 PM > To: WeberSites LTD > Cc: ceo@xxxxxxxxx; 'Robert Cummings'; 'Lester Caine'; > php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: Articles system > > WeberSites LTD wrote: >> Not sure why it's not working with FF. the page passes validation at >> validator.w3.org. > > Validation has never and will never mean it looks right.
