Re: IE destroys my custom home page
Great stuff, the validator will help to identify problems, but don’t get frustrated trying to correct all errors or warnings it may report; to some extent due to the nature of third party plugins and WP you will find errors introduced that simply prove too awkward to fix without going into the core plugin files to fix things, mostly these will be minor errors that browsers will attempt to correct. There are a few bad ones I’ve seen recently though such as style tags being incorrectly added into the document ‘body’ element when the tag can only ever exists in the ‘head’ at least though you will be warned of the issue and can choose to track down and correct or live with if not causing total layout failure.
