Compliance. Does it matter?
I was reading a post yesterday that showed several social media sites without compliant code. It’s been thought that Google will penalize for poor site structure and non-compliant markup and CSS. But do they? It’s tough to say… but I did a bit of research and found that it may not make much difference to have compliant code…
Youtube:
Markup: Failed validation, 72 Errors
CSS: Sorry! We found the following errors (51)
Additional to code errors, YouTube hasn’t implemented a 301 redirect… Do they need to?
Here’s some more interested data…

Joomla 1.5 - the Vista of CMS
I stumbled into this post and thought it was worth bringing here…
Sourced from: http://www.myjoomlaguide.com/blog/joomla-advantages/27
Today Joomla released 1.5.3, just a month after 1.5.2 as the latest version of Joomla’s next generation of the 1.5 architecture.
While Joomla 1.5.x is very, VERY promising, and a big improvement over the 1.0.x architecture,
Joomla 1.5.x is just not there yet. I’d call it a “Vista” product.
How is Joomla 1.5 like Windows Vista? It doesn’t work well with about 90% of the existing components, modules & plugins.
There are very, VERY few components & extensions available for 1.5. If Joomla’s core features are all you need, then Joomla 1.5 is for you.
If you want to update all your Joomla 1.5 sites monthly or so, with their next “stable” version, then again, Joomla 1.5 is for you.
If you require extensions and plugins, Joomla 1.5 isn’t there yet, and it doesn’t look like it’ll happen soon.
With Joomla 1.5 being updated as frequently as it has been, it’s really far from stable in my opinion, yet some members of the Joomla community are attempting to push the architecture as being READY.
One major rumbling at a popular Joomla Template club indicates the template club will only be desiging templates for Joomla 1.5, dropping the 1.0 architecture completely. Their latest template is only available in a 1.5 version, with staff indicating “it’s time to move on…”
I can’t imagine that move will drive more business for them, only hurt their existing membership as many members are planning to “move on…” to a new template club.
So, while the rest of the world is quickly and expediantly forging full-steam ahead with Joomla 1.5, only to run into brick walls at high-speed when trying to find a functional component or plugin, we here at MyJoomlaGuide.com will continue to produce videos for both versions, 1.5 & the extremely stable 1.0.xx.
I’m excited about the future of Joomla 1.5, and I’m not willing to abandon a tried and truely stable system for one with so many less features.
I will continue to produce Video Tutorials on Joomla 1.0 & Joomla 1.5 at MyJoomlaGuide.com.
Members of MyJoomlaGuide.com receive monthly video tutorials on Joomla components & modules. I also cover inside tips and secrets on how to get the most out of each component.

StumbleUponSlowly - The Reason StumbleUpon is Slow to Load.
Has anybody noticed a substantial decrease in StumbleUpon’s load time? You’d think that StumbleUpon would have this all worked out. I’m a big fan of Stumble, but it’s tough to sit through a multi-minute load time on each page… So what’s the problem? Is it spammers? Hackers? Poor technology implementation?
I’m writing this post to open up discussion….
