Cleaning the Toxic Dump
Since the move, I have alot of residual markup that needs a good scrubbing. Cleansing the 300-plus articles has become quite a chore in itself, mostly because when I started this site I hadn’t a grasp of valid, semantic markup which means a good percentage of sloppy code.
I was more concerned with writing the article than the markup and put the toxic waste cleanup on the backburner, which brings me to today, of which I deem Judgement Day. Considering this project is long overdue I have decided to comb through my entries — if you may — and cleanse them of erroneous, non-semantic markup.
The end result of this cleanup is obvious; semantic markup is a shoe in for Google’s index. My buddy Paul Griffin of Relatively Absolute goes into more detail about this, but essentially in a proverbial nutshell it means guaranteed search results, amongst other benefits.
No need for special SEO or URL submissions, the work of getting effective search results is done for you, and it’s all due to the wonders of valid semantic XHTML.
