Richard,

It sounds interesting. I never knew it, my bad.
I thought UTF-8 format is plain text. I will
give it a try when I go home.

Thank you very much.

 Boke,
 
 There is no reason at all that the validator
 would choke on Turkish
 characters, if the text is properly encoded in
 utf-8.
 
 I ran a test, and think I know what the problem
 is. If you run the validator
 on your current page [1], but tell it that the
 encoding is utf-8 (which it
 is not - it's iso-8859-9), you get exactly the
 same error message.
 
 This suggests to me that you didn't actually
 save your file as UTF-8, you
 just changed the encoding declaration in the
 meta tag. You should try saving
 the file as utf-8 (see how to do this for
 various editors [2]), and change
 the encoding declaration.  Then it should work.

  Sorry, I am unable to validate this document

 interpret as utf-8 
  (in other words,
  
  the bytes found are not valid values in the
 specified 
  Character Encoding). Please check both the
 content of the 
  file and the character encoding indication.
  
  It doesn't like the Turkish characters. I
 simply won't write 
  any UTF-8 codes while writing an article to
 my web site. If 
  it doesn't validate my web page some day some
 how because of 
  Turkish characters, I won't mind if my pages
 render correct. 
  If my pages don't render correct with the
 Turkish characters 
  in the code, I will use Flash. ;)
  
  Because English speaking people can simply
 write for the web 
  by hitting one character they know.
  Why shoulf non-English speaking people like
 me bother 
  character entities etc? Also, I know I can
 use findreplace 
  on multi files at the same time, but I won't
 do that. Then I 
  will have to backup two copies of each page
 (eg. if I want to 
  use my text elsewhere, what will I do then?
 Reconvert to the 
  original?).
  
  - Why?
  - Because W3C said so.
  
  Thank you for your comment.

By rights, it shouldn't validate as is,
 since XML requires an XML 
declaration (ie. ?xml version=1.0
encoding=iso-8859-9?) when not using
 utf-8.

Did you note the comment about lang

- Nice, clean layout. Align the dotted line
to the top photo or blue rectangle on the
homepage?

- IMO there is a contrast problem, which makes
reading harder. Black instead of gray?

- Too small font on 1600x1200 resolution.

- Your pages jump when I click a link to the
left or right about 5 or 10 pixels.

- http://www.torresburriel.com/feeds/index.php

Make alzado.org and
A List Apart: for people who make websites
normal font-weight like Mis Feeds? Also
make Mis Feeds the same color as alzado.org?
It would be more consistent.

- The emotion on your face on the photo...
Do you have a better photo?

In your CSS:

- font: 12px Trebuchet MS;

At least you should use sans as an alternative.

- #body {
width: 770px;

Isn't it too high for 800x600?
