With the long weekend here (Auckland Anniversary day on Monday) I was able to spend a little while improving xipsite, my homebrew site manager (it would be a stretch to call it a CMS). The improvements have allowed me to make my templates more succinct and, as a side-effect, I decided it was high time the site became XHTML 1.0 (Strict) into the bargain.
It was a pretty painless process: apart from picking up a few typos that had been lurking in the site for a while, the only real change I had to make was removing language="JavaScript" attributes from my script tags.

Oh, and I found that I needed to add the missing height / width entries to the CSS so Gecko and Opera browsers can render the blog’s landscape / portrait photos’ shadow effect correctly. IE didn’t seem to care either way.
