Standard people! Standard!

Shocking! just shocking!
This HTML code wants me to find the author and kick his ass! Yes, it follows the standard HTML. But hey, it's time for XHTML!

<center>
  <table border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="2" bordercolor="FFFFFF" width="200" bgcolor="121265">
    <tr>
      <td align="center">
Fire Whirlwind<br>
<a href="../../Download-Files/StudyEx/Study-type3_FireWhirl.zip" style="cursor:hand" target="_blank">
<SPAN style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 18; filter: Glow(color=#009900, strength=3); height: 18px">
<font color="#AAFFAA">Download now!</font></SPAN></a>
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</center>

What year is it? 2007! Who in the right mind wouldn't want to see <center> tag's author's slow and painful death! oh, BTW <font> tags? Do you know how many bags of Jack Link's Beef Jerky I have to eat before I mess with that?

This is why I want people to go with newest standard. I'm porting this thing into Drupal, and you know what? It is completely impossible to transport the theme because the theme is built into the HTML structure. Copy+paste the pure text and then add structural data to the page is the only way this porting could work. All these extra work started because no one likes to follow simple web standards. Try learn some web standards. If I found your site, I'm going to list you in hall of shame1.

  1. 1. which could be a good thing because my site have PR of 4

I think this is the right place to pimp the boagworld podcast - the place where I started learning about web standards and a thoroughly enjoyable podcast
