Very cool, Richard. Thanks for the heads up.

I’m downloading HTML-Kit now.

My editor of choice — HTML-Kit (http://www.chami.com) has HTML-Tidy built in. It’s been an absolute godsend for me when I’m dealing with ropey markup. A quick right click and all that nasty goes away! It has code specifically for tidying up micro$oft HTML (usually produced by Word) too.

Did I mention you can get HTML-Kit for free and its got more features than um, something with lots of features?

I am really glad I visited this site. A real cool style which is an asset and inspiration to the Word Press community. On the post: What worries me is that most clients do not see that there is in fact any relationship between how a site looks and how it works at all.

I’m actually surprised I found an English to Polish translator.

Yeah, the online translators leave much to be desired. Especially to less popular languages like Polish.

Those crazy Polish! I’ve got to watch what I say, however, since my great Aunt is Polish and she would put the Pollack Smackdown on me.

Well Erik, I see your site is being overrun by Polish people commenting

Good write-up. I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve had to work with old code and trying to update it without a redesign is like hanging yourself twice.

Most customers — at least the one’s I’ve worked with — are more content with how it looks rather than how it works. They are more concerned with the outside or public view, and haven’t any understanding of what clean code is versus sloppy code.

I’ve been there countless times. You’ll survive — just keep that bottle of antiacid in hand.

Let’s just hope concern about web standards reaches enough critical mass (we’re slowly getting there) so we don’t need to put up with this crap anymore.
