Cleaning Up

Just did some clean up of the blog - I ran it through XHTML validation, and there was a big mess, mostly from a few of the recent posts. WordPress, for whatever reason, was inserting double paragraph tags on all the posts. After a while I found an explanation saying to change a line in the main template. That fixed the immediate problem, and then I went through old posts, cleaning up some goofy syntax that probably came from copying my posts and notes out of DevonThink and pasting them straight in here.

A fantastic tool in the process was TextMate; just copy the post and paste it in, select everything, and choose Text ->Indent Selection. Voila! Everything gets shifted around and properly formatted, assuming you’re been consistent with where you break your lines. If not, this is a great chance to clean house a bit. I managed to catch a couple unclosed tags that would have been otherwise overlooked with this method as well. If the final tag on the page was tabbed in at all, I knew I’d missed something and went back to find it.

There are still some CSS issues with the site, but this is a template I picked up and I’m hoping to make my own up before long. I’m still messing around with the microformats, but haven’t figured out what’s causing the hiccups just yet.
