Improved Service at the W3C Markup Validator

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has recently improved the markup validation service in both design and function. While I lean on the Tidy HTML Validator plugin for Firefox for most of my markup checkups, the only official way to scan for flawed markup is to use the W3C Validator.

In recent years, the Validator has worked well, but was often slow and was never easy on the eyes. The new design is a vast improvement and there is a noticeable pick up in speed.

If you are a web developer who has yet to wise up to web standards, I’d encourage a visit to the W3C. Test your markup using the Validator and improve it until it validates against a modern DOCTYPE.

    Actually, they work just fine. It looks like WP is delivering the latest entry from the db into the pages though. I’ll look into it. Good heads up. Thanks.
