So I haven't been doing much blogging recently. This is in part because I have been working on a rather large project.
Anybody who knows me knows that I like to make lists. Not "To Do" lists, but lists of things. One of the things I like to make lists of is books. Since my first daughter was born, I have developed an interest in children's literature. So obviously I had to start making a list of good children's literature.
I've decided to put this list as a web site, in part as an exercise in learning HTML. The first draft is over there. It's ugly, there are massive formatting problems and is incomplete. There probably will be a blog attached to it later.
Books, architecture, history, art, manuscripts, birds, and other rants.
About Me

- I grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I currently live in Pittsburg Kansas, because of cheap real estate. I have lived in Stillwater, Norman, Midwest City, Oklahoma City, Waco, Austin, Bartlesville and El Paso. I have been a Boy Scout, Boy Scout Leader, member of the SCA, Amtguard, Kappa Kappa Psi and two college marching bands. I have played D&D, Champions, and other RPGs. I have attended Baylor, Tulsa Community College, Oklahoma State, Rose State, and the Universtiy of Oklahoma. I did graduate work at the University of Texas. I read Latin and French, both with some difficulty. I used to better with both. I am married with two children. I am a lapsed Anglican. I once was an admin at Wikipedia.
About this blog.
This blog is essentially an amalgamation of my interests. I sporadically write several other blogs, but the vast majority of those post are cross posted here. I have a variety of interests and each interest has it's own blog. These include Medieval Art and Medievalism, historic architecture of Tulsa and surrounding areas, interesting places to visit in Oklahoma, English and Celtic traditional music and other music, and surgical technology. Everything I write on these blogs ends up here, and I occasionally will write things here that only show up here.

Not to be a pain in butt or any thing, but as a "learning HTML" page, well, it has issues.
799 errors, as a case in point
Well, looking at the list, it seems that there are actually fewer errors. It seems to me that the vast majority of the "errors" stem from the lack of a DOCTYPE Declaration. Almost all of the "errors" are "document type does not allow element "H3" here" or "document type does not allow element "UL" here". Which I assume stems from the lack of a DOCTYPE declaration. The rest of the errors are from code supplied by Amazon.
Question. Does the page load on all of your multitude of browsers?
Another question. Do the book title links take you to Amazon.com?
Another another question. What's a DOCTYPE Declaration? Stop banging your head on the desk.
OK, now I'm down to 427 errors, a few were caught because I cut and pasted a DOCTYPE declaration into the file. About forty were from my incorrect syntax for comments. Several hundred came from failing to close a single "H3" tag. Add in a couple of other random errors and we are down to 427. There seem to be two issues. The first is that I haven't included information on character encoding, whatever the hell that is. The second is that this validatation software doesn't like Amazon's code. Each line of code supplied by Amazon generates over twenty error messages.
Found a couple more, now 424, except for that character encoding thing, all in the amazon code.
See this Use the HTML option.
That brings me down to 424 errors. All of the rest are in the code provided by Amazon. Interestingly, Amazon's home page has over 1600 errors. I guess they don't care.
No, they don't care. That's the least of their sins to the geek community.
