W3C XHTML Compliance Woes
As you might have noticed almost all pages in my website are valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional. However there is a catch in this compliance. I have total control over my posts. In fact, I went so far as to edit all my previous posts (I know there are not too many, but 32 is still quite a big number), just to make sure they meet the XHTML standards. However I have comments on my website, over which I have little control. As in all I can do with the comments is delete / add. Now almost all these comments have a <BR> instead of a <br>, which is not valid XHTML. So unfortunately almost all my pages with comments on them are not valid XHTML. So I have decided that I am not going to bother with those. I will continue to take pains to ensure that all my posts are valid XHTML. But for things beyond my control, I shall not care :).Technorati tags: XHTML, comments

Hmm! I do agree with that. But then you need to backup your database once in a while. I hate doing that all the time. I need to do it with my personal data as it is, more backups mean more trouble. Unfortunately unlike Linus who said Real Men don't make backups. They upload it via ftp and let the world mirror it., I need to maintain my own backups. So till then I shall hang on to blogger. Anyway the pain of moving is not worth it right now :D. Maybe sometime in the future ... maybe ...
