The links to comments don’t work because there’s no <a name=… tags to refer to.

I’d suggect modifying the template to have something like:
Commentor &lt>a name=”87645″8>says</a>:
then the links should work.

As for closing tags, just fix them Not doing so is like saying you don’t need a period after a sentence because you can easily see where the next starts because of the uppercase letter

The buttons at the top have a blue line (probably 1 pixel in length) running along the bottom, but not the top. You might want to remove that.

Like I said, tiny, tiny, tiny. But I still noticed it.

I didn’t even notice whether the fonts were serif or sans serif, since I use Firefox. There’s an option in the preferences that allows you to choose what fonts the browser uses, instead of letting web sites do it for you. I have my font set for Helvetica, so I usually don’t know what fonts a site actually uses.

The rollovers in the top nav bar are much nicer, as well. That aqua color on the gray was hard on the eyes.

Also, the ‘The’ is trying to usurp the ‘Y’ in the title bar, and that doesn’t look good (the font for that only, looks a little unsure of itself as well). The large font overall is nice in the early morning, but maybe you can turn it down a notch, so to speak? Contrary to someone’s comment somewhere, I choose to use a 800×600 screen, thankyouverymuch; I would rather scroll than squint, but admittedly this size font is larger than necessary, in my not so humble opinion.

Otherwise it seems to be moving along quite nicely (with the exception of the squares and dash-lines). There are a few added touches that work well.

Oh, and it’s looking much, much better, BTW.

Interesting: the “Performancing” problem with the “ul” is not that it has two opening tags, it’s that there was only one closing tag. I added another closing ul tag, and it’s fine now.

Still, at least one bad error remains: the <id> tag (right after “Begin search”), which should probably be <div id=…>. It’s causing four errors.

Also, every comment has the same div id. They should have the same class, but they can’t have the same id. That’s causing one error per comment. <ul> is started twice and ended once right after the “Performancing section” which is causing a couple errors.

Most of the other errors seem to be minor–under HTML anyway.

Nice work on the latest tweaks.

Next: san serif font.

I think the malformed HTML stuff is a bit of a crock. I downloaded an HTML validator, and nearly all the “errors” were from having a paragraph tag (<p>) without a closing tag. I know it’s good practice to open and close all tags, but I think it’s a dumb rule to demand a closing tag for something that you only need one of. That includes line breaks, too.

In other news, I’ll fiddle more with the color, and try to rearrange the loading order. Some of the coments are things that are remarkably difficult to fix. I really want to handle the comment linking, but that may take me a while. A lot of the stuff I think will be hard is easy, and vice-versa.
