When browsing (in sum1s siggy)
i found: http://standards.spiralmindsinc.com/

A website dedicated to following and using webstandards...

but wait a minute!

I click 'projects' on the menu, and OMG what does firefox tell me???
XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: http://penagate.spiralmindsinc.com/dev-index.php
Line Number 82, Column 50:mySQL Error in _sidebar.php: No database selected
-------------------------------------------------^
and promptly dies!


So much for standards :P (i know its the myself error, but still :P)

Yeah that sucks. Must be having server issues right now I guess.

That's a cool site. Didn't know about it (sorry d11wtq for not paying enough attention to your sig..). I'm always interested in Web standards. What I would like to see though is some "about" page which explains what the goal of the site is and who is behind it. Or did I miss that in the 5 mins I just browsed the site? (sorry about that then. again :) )

Aside from the server issues that were taking place a few days ago, that site is very useful. Every now and again I visit the links in signatures. d11's standards site is very nice.

Just to clear up any confusion Spiral Minds is in no way linked with myself ;) I just thought it was a great site.

Sorry. Made an assumption. Still a great site though.

Aha. I was confused as well. O well, w3style.co.uk is a very cool site too! (quite young isn't it?)

Ha yeah very young... I've had the domain for ages just never bothered doing anything with it. I just keep adding bits and pieces when I get chance.
