You may have noticed the very plain first page of this site. Wait few more days and you will be able to browse a wide gallery of the best websites regarding their clean code, standards validation, semantic and accessibility.
We can’t wait here to get the gallery released as I will bring all the purpose of the site at last.
If there is a website I am always looking forward to read the next article it’s really A List Apart. Each issue is a true pleasure to read. Always very well written, articles are of the best quality and talk often about web design best practices, standards and other interesting stuff that we like at Your Site Is Valid.
All the ALA writers are experienced people from different background and make the magazine a top class resource for web designer. Check out the website: A List Apart
Do you know RSS feed also have standards? To be 100% valid you better chech your RSS feeds with the nice validator tool provided by the w3c: http://validator.w3.org/feed/.

<link><![CDATA[http://myfeedpath]]></link><pubDate>Wed, 2 Apr 2008 14:00:00 GMT</pubDate>A fantastic plugin for WordPress that generate a Google compatible XML Sitemap. Every blog should have a sitemap for SEO purpose. And when you can get it automatically generated when you post, it is even better. This one has a well documented admin panel and is fully customisable to your need.
The CSS value inherit can be used for every property. It allows you to reinisialize the CSS value to the selected property to it’s default value. For example if you use:
ul{ list-style:none }
to take off all the bullets point from your list you could use
ul.justHere{ list-style:square }
However that will set up the bullet point to be square (yes I now it’s obvious). But you might want to live the style of the bullet points down to the navigator. In this case “inherit” is the solution:
ul.justHere{ list-style:inherit }
I find it very usefull when I use a CSS reset that take off everything so I can, in some occasion bring the defaultstyle back.
