rebuilding a website

Rebuilding a website is very time consuming especially when the recent code is sloppy and non-labeled. Not only that but converting from XHTML Transitional to XHTML Strict and keeping it validated is a lot of work!

My first step, as usual, was laying out a drawing of how I am able to arrange the divs and from there I make my box models before I put the contents. From there I build up and gather the contents and styling with CSS.

I'm so used to using target="_blank" for opening to new windows but XHTML Strict doesn't validate this so this took some of my time doing some research trying to figure what to replace it with. Thanks to SITEPOINT.COM I was able to do so. Very little coding and adding external Javascript sheet is all it takes!



Here's my final outcome: rebuilt page
