tubapro12's Journal: HTML 4.01 Recommendations

It surprises me how many popular 'tech' websites are still not using valid HTML 4.01 even with all this time after December 24, 1999; yes it's been that long.

Take for instance Slashdot. Yes, the almighty nerd news source doesn't even use HTML 4.01 (I can't validate /. as they appear to be hiding their homepage from robots: Attempts at validating /. gives an error 403).

Nor Google.

I say its about time they get around and update their codes. Or at least read Why to use HTML 4.01.

On the plus side, Wired News is Standards compliant (by the Firefox Web Developer extension). But... however, they aren't exactly valid according to the W3C.
