One question regarding our final: is it our group site about blogging?
I was thinking it would be since this is week 7 and we haven't been told about any new big assignments, but I'm honestly not sure.
Thanks,

Tech pundit Dave Winer put out a public call for CSS gurus to do a table-free redesign of the weblogs.com site.
Not only did Douglas Bowman do a nice job on it, he blogged the process, as well, so you can see what he did and why. Serves as a nice tutorial.
Simon Willison did a version, as well--and also blogged it.
I was just wondering, when are we going to be getting our midterm grades back?
Thanks,

I tried making a button that had an alert and also sent you somewhere. I've gotten the alert to work, but the link doesn't.
Here is how I did it:
<a href="page2.html" onClick="alert('What am I doing wrong?');">
<input type="button" name="link" value="Click Here">
</a>
If anyone knows what I am doing wrong or if there is a better way to go about this I would be much obliged.

I went into google and typed in Web Standards, just looking for various articles with something interesting to say. I went to this page from webstandards.org.
At the bottom of the page are a list of other pages and one is a forum for CSS.
Don't know how helpful it may be, but I thought I'd list it anyway.

so yeah, I've been creating all my files throughout my website using php and having my menu and other features as php includes. However, our index files for MT are .html which means i can't use php includes. Any ideas on how to change the extension through MT? I was successful in getting my archive pages to change, but I can't find a setting for the index file. Any help would be appreciated it would be sad for the code to go to waste. Thanks

I have 2 quick questions about the Midterm.
Is the About This Site about our main 409 page or our blog?
And, are the About Me and About This Site pages supposed to be on our main 409 page or on our 409 blog?
Thanks,
Stephanie
This week, Mark Pilgrim posted an extraordinary rant entitled "Semantic Obsolescence", about the direction that XHTML standards are going, and his frustration with compatibility issues.
The post quickly climbed to the number one spot on Daypop, the weblog popularity index, and has prompted response and discussion throughout the "blogosphere."
One interesting response comes from Jonathan Delacour. Another comes from Shelley Powers. I'm sure there'll be more.
I stumbled across this great list of resources to create different layouts with CSS. Since we all are trying to learn how to modify our blogs using CSS, I thought it might come in handy. It's at: CSS Layout Resources.
It's a link to ScriptyGoddess' List of CSS Layout Resources. It's a list of links to websites that provides code and the end resulting appearance.

I've been trying to mess around with the style sheet. Whenever I rebuild the style sheet, nothing changes. Then I've decided to rebuild all of the pages, and then all of my entries have disappeared. What should I do? Should I just restart by setting everything back to default?
Has anyone out there been using Tidy?
Usually I don't worry about the appearance of my code until it's all written and working correctly. Tidy make the code look pretty, so that you don't have to go through it yourself.
It is a great tool.
