I am only technical when talking of Web design. Like all webmasters, I know how to make a style sheet from a blank file, give definitions to elements, classes and ID’s, put HTML tags and respecting the standards; but I’m not artist in anyway. Art requires feelings, passion, mastering, whereas I make HTML/CSS templates […]
I started to find out about AJAX, a fashion Web technology, which stands for Asynchronous JavaScript And XML; Hatem’s blog helped me a lot, and the Internet is a huge source of information.
A “hello world” application is like the following: it requests data from page.php and writes the content between div tag identified by […]
WordPress contains a nice WYSIWYG HTML editor, but it doesn’t fit with XHTML specifications.
I found out a cool method to generate valid XHTML code on WordPress; all what you need is Nvu and Vim.
First, use Nvu to edit your HTML text, and set you markup output to XHTML transitional:
Tools - Preferences - Advanced - […]
Reading Linux Gazette, I found a nice RDF with XSL document that maps a picture and describes its parts.
I have hacked on the original script in order to change the picture and encode it using GraphInside.

A Perl script to integrate graphics into a HTML file.
Requires Perl with the following CPAN modules: HTML::TokeParser and MIME::Base64.

Found a cool medical HTML template at OSWD.
It’s XHTML compliant and has nice CSS features, without tables nor Javascript.
Another verse of the Book of Mozilla , not by Firefox or any Gecko software, but with Nvu!

The elementals fought and sent back the armies of Mammon to the inner […]
I made some quick and dirty hacks on WordPress that are useful for me:
Fixed keyword meta-tag adding categories as keywords; no need to make a file, just added to header.php the following lines:
get_var(”SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->categories”); ?>

Added a plug-in that inserts images […]
The best Firefox extension I have ever downloaded is the HTML Validator, based on Tidy, the extension puts an icon at the foot of the browser, checking for each page whether it is or not a valid HTML or XHML.
If the icon is green (first picture), no validation error, thus the page is […]
