So, I have a slight problem getting my site to validate at the moment, which I'd appreciate some help figuring out. It goes something like this:

  • Wordpress produces XHTML
  • Therefore, this site has a lot of XHTML in it that I can't control (my php skills are not up to editing anything server-side)
  • del.icio.us automatically posts my link entries as HTML (minus the eX)
  • Therefore, this site also has a lot of HTML in it that I can't control
  • Some of the XHTML won't validate as HTML and some of the HTML won;t validate as XHTML
  • Therefore, my site doesn't validate.

So, I guess my problem is

  • How much does it matter?
  • How much do I care?
  • Can I do anything about it either way?
