My site used to validate - until I started adding all the WP plugins. Now there are so many errors I wouldn't know where to start since, once you validate, it just shows all the posts mixed in with the header/main/sidebar coding as well - just try to figure out where the hell to go for fixing - I can't.

I'm not going to start tweaking WP or adding an extra newline at the end of each of my 312 posts (or how many have this unclosed paragraph problem) for my site to validate. I'm not accusing WP for breaking the validation, I just haven't taken the time to get familiar with the logic in post formatting (e.g. how to do blockquotes properly). Besides, my <em>CSS</em> validates. I'm sorry it bothers you a great deal (you must be losing sleep too, wondering and pondering why I had to say this and that in my not-so-serious hobby blog with cutesy purple background), but I'll be as inconsistent as I please in my spare time. <blockquote>Editing a table layout (so to speak) in a vanilla text editor is anything but easy, if you choose web standards and use semantic markup</blockquote> If you're respecting web standards and semantics, you shouldn't be making a table layout to begin with.

Editing a table layout (so to speak) in a vanilla text editor is anything but easy, if you choose web standards and use semantic markup

If you’re respecting web standards and semantics, you shouldn’t be making a table layout to begin with.

Editing a table layout (so to speak) in a vanilla text editor is anything but easy, if you choose web standards and use semantic markup, documents become at lot easier to understand.
