    Here it is… The spiffed up and polished version complete with accompaning WordPress CMS. Whew, the design is the same, however the coding of it was a ***** to be frank. Coding the (x)html/css before converting it to PHP was easy, but inplementing it into wordpress was a pain in the neck and confusing. However I eventually beat all the problems with some help from you guys and whatnot. I’ve tested everything I think and I’ve found everything to work, so if you want try to break the page, and add comments, etc….

    The one complaint I have is that it can’t follow my original design down to the alignment becuase of the different browsers parsing the PHP and CSS differently however I tried to make it close enough for both FF and IE. Finally, I need testing in Safari. I don’t want to use browsershots and things like it becuase it never happens, the lines for those services are incredible!

    Okay, comments are really appreciated. Thanks guys!

    The site is spiffy and polished, to be sure. But I’m not sure where I am when I arrive. Why am I here? I’m not sure which section of the page I’m supposed to focus on…

    I’m a bit of a curmudgeon when it comes to fancy sites, however.

    Even my tastes in women are like that… but that a different subject 🙂

    Yep, I ran into that issue, however I don’t think it warrants the addition of loading 3 different headers just to change the links

    And also Why is the w3 validator chocking on my WordPress generatoed code?

    Interesting layout. I’m not a fan of black, so that tends to put me off, but I LOVE the “zen-ish” rock graphic.

    As to validation, the only stuff I’m seeing refers to the frameset usage. You might try re-doctyping to xhtml 1.0 transitional, see if that helps.

    It’s not. It’s your use of frames/doctype… Need to use:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">

    I did that and it’s still spitting crap out at me… and why is it still saying HTML strict? I changed it to transitional

    Here – try copy n pasting this:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">

    See if that works.

    I put that into there and it still says the page is strict? BTW, only reason I use the frameset is because of my domain name registar… I think I can turn it off somewhere… Anyone know how to?
