A few changes to the site

Just a quick note to say that I’ve been making a few changes to the site’s static pages, especially the home page. While I’ve been doing this I’ve noticed the really horrific number of HTML validation errors I’m getting - mainly, I think, as a result of the site being built up over a number of years rather than planned in a final form.

I’ve spent most of the past couple of days faffing about with the code - including sorting out all the little fixes and twiddles I’ve been meaning to do for a while to get everything XHTML 1.1 compliant. 95% of the pages, including the home page, are now sorted, though the Twitter widget (below, on the right) is causing me all sorts of grief because it calls non-compliant code that I’ve got no control over. So if you happen to run any of the blog pages through the w3.org validator and find mistakes, they’re not my fault, they’re Twitter’s, OK?
