I just ran across an interesting article which I’ve linked to at the end of my post. The article is about converting websites to XHTML and CSS. I still can not believe how many people have not caught on with the concept.

I belong to a marketing forum and very few members use XHTML and CSS-based websites. Some of the marketers use WordPress, but most use sites built around tables. The code is bloated and messy. There are code errors. I’ve even ran across ones that completely break in Firefox. That’s insane! Think of the market share they are losing out on.

The fact is, XHTML and CSS are not at all hard to implement. If you know HTML, XHTML is easy to learn. But the CSS is the beautiful part. With CSS, you just make changes to one file and your whole website can be altered on the fly.

Most of you who are return visitors to this site, know my templates are valid XHTML and CSS. A simple XHTML framework can become a work of art by working on the CSS. Most designers who code XHTML and CSS get their inspiration from sites like CSS Zen Garden. I still do. The XHTML and CSS combination is a beautiful thing.
