Retooling Slashdot with Web Standards
I've never been a big adopter of "web standards" (ie. XHTML, CSS, etc.), mainly because I'm not a big web developer these days. When I have to create a web page, it's almost always for myself and I normally take the quickest possible route to a solution. This usually involves tables and other circa-2000 markup tricks, rather than stylesheets and the like. I accept that this is bad. The terrific A List Apart site takes a shot at rebuilding Slashdot (perhaps the posterchild for ignoring web standards in favor of "just making it work") using 100% standards-compliant markup. Their article, Retooling Slashdot with Web Standards may just make me take a crack at rebuilding my sites using modern web technology.
