For the last two years, I’ve been trying to make my website more compliant with Internet standards. Not only would this make my site that much cooler, but it would give me a chance to polish my design skills and bring them more up to date with the rest of the web. After all, knowing HTML is great but not if that’s the only markup language you know.

I don’t know what made me pick December 1st as the day to finally take the plunge. Maybe it’s was the unnaturally frosty chill in the air. Maybe it was the desire to make something, to be productive. In the end, it was just a solution to the horrible boredom I’ve been suffering lately. I spent a good 3 hours this morning just reading through tutorials and manuals about table-less design. Then it took another hour or so to update the code on the Photo Gallery pages, though I spent at least 15 minutes just trying to remember how the hell I made it all work; I knew I commented my code for a reason!

In the end the result isn’t any different to the average user browsing through my site. On the back-end I can finally say I’ve done away with the archaic TABLE tag that although worked flawlessly with older versions of my site, just isn’t dynamic enough to work with what I’m hoping to create in the future.
