Linux Blogs - Do you have one ?
Ok, I know some of you have them....some of you don't.... but my memory stinks, so give me a break and post yours here 
I started crouse.us ....... had to put SOMETHING on the domain  ,so a blog it was. I finally figured out all the rss stuff.........so, you can get rss feeds for crouse.us now ....... oooohhhhhh aaaaahhhhhhhhh
If you look up at crouse.us in the firefox toolbar, you will see the rss icon on the far right..... clicking it gives you http://crouse.us/newsfeed.rss and the rss icons at the bottom of the pages give you the feed as well. It's not a big deal, but it was something I had been wanting to figure out how to do, and today I did lol.
I write all the code in plain old html for my blog....... no automation software for me  It really doesn't take long, and it's kind of fun doing it all manually...... guess I just don't trust the php/blogging software to not get hacked, or my ability to notice that it's out of date

Hey crouse,
Your site does look pretty good, but...
Don't take this personally, but you should really validate your code using;
* The MarkUp Validator. - Also known as the HTML validator, it helps check Web documents in formats like HTML and XHTML, SVG or MathML.
* The Link Checker - Checks anchors (hyperlinks) in a HTML/XHTML document. Useful to find broken links, etc.
* The CSS Validator - validates CSS stylesheets or documents using CSS stylesheets.
After looking at your web site source code, I noticed that many of the errors for validation is because of simple coding errors such as the way you use the "<br>" tag instead of "<br />" for your XHTML 1.0 Strict document type. I can understand the errors of "<br>" myself because I did the same thing when I switched from using HTML to XHTML and CSS.
So, now all you have to do, to clear up at least 40 of the errors in your code, is to switch the </br>, <br>, <br >, to "<br />".
Another note: W3 Schools Online Web Tutorials and Web Developer's Handbook | CSS, Web Development, Color Tools, SEO, Usability etc. are probably my two favorite websites for building websites.
A web standard website looks best using any browser.
A non-web standard site looks best with IE and other non standard browsers...
Final note: A web standard website is more secure than a non web standard website by default, less scripts to add to secure it when it is properly coded._________________ This block is for DISTRO information ONLY, all other information will be removed by the Site Administrators.

Hadn't got that far yet Cope57  But it does look like I have a few things to fix lol. But then again.......so do you I clicked your "VALID XHTML" button on your website http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fcope57.nuclearcentury.com%2F

Me too, as you said.
I have a few other blogs that I write to every now and then, but I mostly write right here. |

I actually got connected to your blog. This is cool in more ways than one since a lot of blogs are blocked here. I am assuming you set this up yourself, and the chi-coms are more into blocking the commercial blog facilitators. I would like to set up a blog for community developement workers in remote areas. You have inspired me.
Thanks for the complements. If I update it with anything
