random quote 1
"fears are obstacles in life,
these are but challenges
that you must take on,
or you shall be condemned
with your fears forever."

standards hmmm
I have been exploring the web for quite a while now and seem to be greatly involved with it. I came to realize that without the web or the so called internet most of us would have narrow vision since we have yet to explore. I have been hopping from website to website and became fascinated because I was thinking of how creative people are nowadays. Because of web-technology everybody has the privilege to create their own online profile which could also be termed as websites in which they are to be known all over the world by broadcasting their thoughts and ideas.
Being inquisitive, I finally decided to try and create my own website with the help of my friends. As I first started, I just tried following the examples of most sites. I never actually had any ideas about standards, compliance or whatsoever. Upon completion, I was excited since it was my very first website and that I asked my friends to check it out. A friend told me that I should try validating my website with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and when I did, I was shocked. The first time I tried it I came to realize how erroneous my site was. Because of this, I was urged to research on valid coding for web coding and stuff (HTML and xHTML). It took me a while fixing and examining my code and matching all possible substitutes to make it a valid one. A moment after hours and hours of frustration I finally was able to correct my mistakes. Luckily the code was still small and that it was easier to correct. If it were larger, it would be rather be a difficult one to handle.
Recently, I was stunned when I read an article that more than 90% of the population of web-based entities are not compliant with the standards.
Complying with the standards would give you an advantage. Not only will the value of your information increase but will also be worth viewing. Compatibility issues come after.
