I've finally bit the bullet and built a fairly (I hope) standards
compliant website, 47 Words (http://www.47words.com). I've just run
it through the W3 Validators (CSS and XHTML) and it validates.
I'd really appreciate comments on the code, design, any ways I could
make the markup more semantic,

Not exactly following best practices, with font-sizes _and_
line-heights defined in pixels.
You're getting the usual result: blocking font-resizing
in IE/win and causing text-overlapping in IE/win and Opera if user
overrides font-sizes.
In short:
Okay, most of the points I made still apply. 1) is out, because you've

I was a bit surprised by the blue on hover. Surprise is good, but i
don't know about the blue.
In your search option you use some _javascript_ which isn't very stable.

Hi Josh,
I appreciate your input, and I concur with some of your points, and will apply
the changes

I can change those. But, the backgrounds are set not to repeat
vertically. So would it be better to a) Let the text flow into
empty white space; b) set a bckgound color and let it flow into that;
or c) let the background repeat?
Also, just how far up should I assume a user may set their text?
You can't just measure it by IE's +2 and -2, because for users with widescreen displays, the default is something like +1. This is because widescreen Windows XP runs at 120 dpi rather than the standard 96 dpi, and to compensate for small text, the text is automatically set to be larger. Therefore

Thanks for the comments, Georg, Wybe. I've made some corrections to

to onfocus for the search form.

Ok, For the moment being, I am going to ignore the links in the top right corner and the fieldset in the bottom left.
What do you think about the WAI issue? Keep the p's and
add in a small span of text inside the link, or put all of the
p text into a span and use that?

Hi Kat,
I was there too (WE05) and heard the same line! What Tantek was referring to
was saying if your header for your webpage JUST contains say a title and
logo, then there may be no need whatsoever to include the extra div

(eg.h1) element?
Aren't the header tags reserved for text? Is it
Yes. It's not as evil as some things, but it is certainly bad practice.
You'd be much better off using HTML 4.01 (which is, last time I checked
a valid spec).
