web standards
Web standards are important, but a missing alt tag will not throw your site into the mires of 1998. Everything in moderation. People often ask for target="_blank" on their links to “prevent users from leaving their site.” While I find this practice outdated, it's not always up to me to decide on what a client wants. That being said, I try to stick to XHTML Strict as close as possible, while allowing some wiggle room for missing alt tags or a client request for targets on links.
(I draw the line at <marquee>)
This website uses some CSS3 to achieve some effects.
This site was coded with love from scratch. The background image is the Cat's Paw Nebula from Wikimedia Commons, altered by me. I am using the following jQuery plugins: corner, bgpos, form and address.
Notice your back and forward buttons are perfectly functional, but the entire content of this website is only one page. View the source if you don't believe me! Your mind: blown.
