Put a Weiner Dog On Your Site

My friends Chris and Karl think that everyone who has a site should be connected in some tangible way, other than by just using a link, by sharing an image of this particular “weiner dog”.

So, if you can, put a weiner dog on your site by using the code on that site to add the creature.

iGoogle ate my homepage

My personalized Google home page just reverted to defaults with an old zip code from Birmingham, AL and in the process lost all of my additional tabs, rss feeds, bookmarks, etc. Everything except for my gMail and some old stocks that I used to watch. This was probably 40 regularly used bookmarks and a dozen or so RSS Feeds from bloggers I watch and friends who bookmark using del.icio.us regularly. Not good. I have faith that Google will fix the problem and I’m sure they know what used to be on my page. The logo and new name for the Google personalized homepage changed to iGoogle last night.

Thumbs-up

In my 13 years of building sites, I don’t think I’ve ever had the time to keep an eye on details to the point where my site validated “green” according to W3C rules.

Throughout today and tomorrow we are converting 174 of our sites to version 2.0 templates in our CMS and the coding for every single page using the new templates is validates XHTML 1.0 Strict!

Great job Nick, Jonathan and Howard!
