Web Site Renovation!

I spent a lot of time over the last few days "upgrading" my web site. Though much of the content remains the same, I updated all the underlying code. Frames are gone, and the navigation is now on the top instead of the left. My entire web site is now written using W3C standards using XHTML 1.0 Transitional and CSS. There are NUMEROUS benefits to using XHTML and CSS, including:

• Separation of the data and presentation layers
• Cleaner and more structured markup language
• Increased interoperability with newer browsers on mobile devices, etc.
• Compliance with standards such as XML

All the pages and the CSS have also been validated using the W3c markup validation service.

The web site has been tested fine to work with IE 6.0 on Windows and Firefox 1.x. However, the layout will now look REALLY ugly in the 4.0 and prior browsers as they are poor at supporting web standards such as CSS.

New sections have also been added. The blog is new, as is the articles section. Given that I have now started a blog, you might actually see updates from me more often. But that remains to be seen :-)
