If you test code, that is quality assurance (unit testing is QA) What trips me out about you is that know so much about DRM and best practices; neither has anything to do with web design Well, I suppose so, but I never really considered it QA, just part of the job. I know so much about DRM because I've been a moderator for a Hard Rock and Metal internet radio station, Chronix Radio, for years. I've had to research and argue about all the aspects of DRM and have just kept up on the news of it as it's gone along and come to include games and move away from being included with music. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by best practices, though. What's now called "web standards" anymore, maybe? If so, then that's just something that's been expected anymore to keep competitive. Just keeping up on all the changes has caused people to become very focused on their abilities, like being only a PHP programmer, front-end HTML and CSS, etc. so it has some good sides and some bad sides to it. And I will be the first to admit that I'm a cheesy HTML author... It isn't my forte but since everyone who has offered to make a "totally bitchen" site turned out to be undependable tweakers, the burden remains on my shoulders. However, simply because I don't want to spend the time making a snazzy site doesn't mean I will accept buggy code. At the very least, I must call out incompatibility in my FAQ I was especially moved when you gave me a link to how to improve my code! While I will be slow to move on that (making art remains my paramount priority) this is something I should've done myself long ago, and will certainly dig into Did you find obvious exceptions in my code or were you simply pointing me to an invaluable resource? I was just pointing out a helpful resource for you, but in going through some of your code quick since you had mentioned it, the only errors that jump out to me in any way are a few extra </a> tags that you have on the front page. I haven't looked at every page, though, but at most you just seemed to have a few HTML errors that are ignored by all browsers anymore. So as far as any incompatibilty, no, there wasn't any that I noticed. Technically, using <table> for layout is considered outdated and past W3C standards, but there's nothing realistically wrong with it. It's encouraged to use <div>s and CSS for managing the layout (like "height" and "width" for positioning, etc.), but that can be a huge hassle when transitioning between the two. A good resource for that is CSS Zen Garden, which uses the same, unchanging HTML file and is only changed by using CSS. But it's a lot of time and shouldn't be a high-priority if what you have now works for you.

Finally kept my word and updated the cuts www.bigskyhorizons.com/alx/me/cuts/toc.htmBut now I am filled with the knowledge that I have to upgrade the cuts section. How embarrassing is it to suddenly realize that "my first HTML table code" is still haunting my supposedly cutting edge site. Actually, I've dropped that section a couple times before but had to bring it back due to fan outrage (hence the outdated code) Should the new format not please you, say so
