Sorry, I'm off-line for a week or so in the Florida Keys. But I'm sure
others here will chime in with some suggestions.

And you still haven't fixed your sig. Not a major deal but, gee, such a
simple fix if you'd bother to read what I told you.

It should be:

Do you not see that the thing being read refers to the source and
therefore ANYONE that is reading the darn thing WOULD BE interested?

I just checked my Wordpress blog, it uses xhtml 1.0 transitional

Last time I checked, the code validated and the css had a couple of
errors relating to elderly moz - values (pre-built template). This
time the Validator is flagging up more errors, that's the trouble with
stuff which tries to simplify usage.

Still an order of magnitude better than most Google Blogger code
though . . .

There are a lot of things I don't see. I don't see users of
websites being interested and I don't see that ANYONE (if we must
shout) reading sources WOULD BE interested. I often have a quick
look at source without it being a point of curiosity for me what
doctype is being used. As far as I know, the importance of
doctypes is to do with the mere presence of them (often it being
unimportant which doctype is used) causing desirable things to do
with predictable presentation. And the other thing that is
important is that it acts to alert (on validation tests) the
author of things he or she would not want to miss.
