Poll
Validated frustration

I apologize for the lack of posts. I have a long list of topics I plan on addressing, but I’ve been spending most of my time working on the layout of the Wordpress theme that I use: Vistered Little. I really like how my blog is starting to look, but I’ve made a decision to postpone fixing the validation of the poll (right sidebar) and RSS technology feed (left sidebar) until I have an extended amount of downtime from my other commitments. Thus, the checkmarks for CSS and HTML validation are no longer present on the right side. 
I hope to resolve everything by the end of this month.
I feel validated

As a newbie to web design, you may stumble upon small obstacles that can turn into brick barriers if you aren’t familiar with certain unwritten rules. I came across my first one the other day. Fortunately, in the webmaster community, there are plenty of avenues to find assistance even if you have a very limited understanding of web building code (i.e. xml, css, javascript, sql, etc.). In attempting to make adjustments to my blog footer, I was informed that my code needed to be validated. I started thinking to myself: How could I possibly make adjustments to a code for a template that was designed by an expert in xml? At first I wanted to put off this process because I fully expected it to be an arduous task that would take me away from adding content to my site. Then I started to realize that the only way I was going to get the help I needed to resolve my problem was to actually take the time to check my webpage for HTML and CSS errors. While there are many ways of checking a web page for errors, the W3 Consortium established a standard that is generally accepted in the web design community. Since there are explanations of where the errors occurred and the possible cause, the process was not as time-consuming as I expected. While my blog is far from the best out there, it felt good to know that my web page was better optimized for viewing. Thanks to assistance from other webmasters I also found out that in the “mad world of browsers” getting something to appear correctly in 3 out of 4 browsers isn’t too bad. 
Thanks moshu.
