For all of you in the demographic of a demographic who atually read it and care, Slashdot has finally updated it’s site to use valid HTML:
After 8 years of my nasty, crufty, hodge podged together HTML, last night we finally switched over to clean HTML 4.01 with a full complement of CSS. While there are a handful of bugs and some lesser used functionality isn’t quite done yet, the transition has gone very smoothly. You can use our sourceforge project page to submit bugs and we’d really appreciate the feedback. Thanks to Tim Vroom for putting the HTML in place, Wes Moran for writing the HTML in the first place, and Pudge for writing the code to convert 900k users, 60k stories, and 13 million comments to comply. And for the brave, download the stylesheet and start experimenting with new themes and designs for Slashdot: some sort of official contest to re-design Slashdot is coming soon, so you can get a head start now.
While it isn’t XHTML it’s definatley a good thing that they are finally catching up with the times. This update has been LONG overdue, especially being that slashdot is THE geek site on the Internet.
