Conley has fixed the comment boxes.  Before, anyone not logged in was unable to enter his or her name, e-mail, or Web site into the respective text boxes. We apologize for anyone who was unable to add comments because of this bug.

After a long time of fixing errors on the site, I am proud to say that Free Culture News is now valid XHTML 1.0 Strict.

Almost all errors were caused by editors (myself included) copying and pasting code from other sites, code which either was not XHTML 1.0 Strict, was poorly written in its own right, or depended on other aspects of the copied site.

So to all editors: Please, please, please make sure that your code doesn’t break the page. The most preferable way in my opinion to do this is to paste in stuff from other sites as plain text. To do this, click the “Show/Hide Kitchen Sink” button on the WordPress Post toolbar (it’s the rightmost toolbar button), then click the “Paste as Plain Text” button (the clipboard with a “T” on it) instead of using CTRL+V. This is sure to avoid a significant portion of all errors. Also please verify that your posts are valid by either visiting the link above after posting (it also lives at the bottom of the site) or uploading the raw code in the HTML tab to the W3C Validator, just in case.
