I am always looking for lists to help with my online website design and search engine optimization business.

Recently, my friend Herb over at “What’s This Web Thing”, posted this list of 55 SEO tips. There is a lot of helpful information in here without any of the hype that you often see in these sorts of lists. I am republishing this with Herb’s permission.

Enjoy!

CSS can be the most frustrating part of website development. This is solely due to the the inconsistencies and lack of implemented standards on the part of Microsoft for their Internet Explorer (IE). The only reason I still take the time to ensure my web pages look good in IE is because 30% of my visitors are still using the browser.

So I decided to embark on a journey using CSS Frameworks to see if they could reduce my CSS pain and allow me to design a website more rapidly. Here is a summary of my first experience.

Have you ever visited a website and noticed the compliance or validation badge? The badge usually says something like “HTML Valid”, “CSS Valid” or has the HTML or CSS word in it with a big check mark. There are many variations, but the idea is to portray the page as “VALID”.

I got to seeing this enough that I began to wonder what it meant. And why was it important that a page be “valid”.

This article looks at what validation means, why it’s important, and how to valid your web pages to the industry standard.
