Just a quick note – I like what you’ve done with the infinfx website, very clean and crisp

Paper Bull, I have not used the validator clean up utilities. I need to clean up my blog’s code, however, as it is in no way “clean” CSS and XHTML. I am not sure if WordPress has an issue with clean code.

Added you.

That is a good idea and definitely on my list of “things to do.” What ideas do you have?

not to mention errors with the server that may come up…that’s why Nate’s servers are awsome…because they don’t show error pages!!!

Hey, when is infinfx going to come out with a formalized affiliate program…I have some ideas that that would be great for.

Great job with the results!

you make me want to validate. (that just sounds odd…)

Hey John, thanks for stopping by. Yes, I also wish the W3C would spice up their validation badges with some web 2.0 sexiness.

Hi Alan, thanks for the comment. Yes, you are right – that is why I said that by having a site validated, you are mostly ensuring it will display properly, but of course, that is not the case 100% of the time.

Even though 99% of the valid websites will be displayed OK, the fact that a website is valid will NOT ensure that it will be displayed properly by browsers… I’ve seen many display problems on valid websites.

I’d prefer a website with a couple of validation errors that displays right for 99% of the visitors rather than one perfectly valid but with issues in IE.

Nate,

The best form of advertising is directional– and that is exactly what you’re optimizing for. Very smart. If someone is LOOKING to buy, half of your job is already done.

The new site looks great. I remember the first time we validated in XHTML/CSS a few years ago and what an accomplishment it was for us, congratulations!

Hey Nate,

The new site looks great. And nice targeting of your business for local search traffic. Good to see your SEO is already bringing in business!

Thanks Nate. I’m still on the learning curve with XHTML Validation. I often find codes which the validator is flagging as an error but when viewing the .php files I can’t see the issue. It looks to be in the form as suggested by the validator.

Is that common?

What are thoughts on the auto-clean utilities such as http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/ ?

Good points about using valid markup. I just wish the little buttons the W3C provide for valid sites were a little sexier though!

Seeing as how you mention that you are using XHTML, I think this article would be interesting. It basically says that there are no browsers that display XHTML correctly, not even firefox. It's is an interesting read, if nothing else. infinfx is looking pretty sharp. Nice improvement over the last one.
