ZackRippy.com is now valid XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS 2. Why should you care? Well, you probably don’t. For someone who is just getting his hands dirty with coding (that would be me), it was a fun little challenge getting it all sorted out. So, you can click on the nifty links below and see that the blog is now validated.
You will see some CSS warnings:
Line : 129 (Level : 1) You have no background-color with your color : h2
Line : 137 (Level : 1) You have no background-color with your color : h3
I will not be fixing those…at least not right now. I just don’t care that much about them. I played around and eliminated a lot of them, but I’m done for now. It validates and I’m happy.
While I may not be a hardcore standards evangelist, I do think that they are very important and am happy to make my little corner of the web a kindler, gentler place. 
i looked at doing mine, but frankly it’s mind-boggling for me. maybe later.
congrats

Very nice, Zack. Check out the Tidy HTML Validator plugin for Fx. It makes it easy to check validation while you surf and it helps you keep a close eye on the sites you are responsible for.
Currently, my blog is valid to HTML 4.01 Transitional. Soon, it will be valid XHTML 1.0. A few CSS warnings are never too bad. Errors are worth attention though. Nice work man! (And you are on a great platform for standards compliance. WP makes it easy, especially if your theme was built to standard from the get-go.)
