Validated!

Thank god for that!

I think all pages are valid now. What a nightmare that is to get to work though. In wordpress your css isn’t in one sheet its a combination of several, but validating at w3c just gives you line numbers from the page. You then have to trawl through your stylesheets/template to find the problems. To be fair though most problems were with the sidebar, which has most hackage done by me.

It’s a pity that this theme doesn’t work properly in internet explorer(sidebar slides down) and even when it does it breaks the <ul> and <li> effects (and in doing so becomes non-compliant!)

If anyone wants to check out the code for me feel free! Oh and if anyone spots a page (ignoring the webcam stream) that’s not compliant please leave me the link in a comment. Cheers

…and we both just get along…

…Suzie and Penny in the village shop.

BULLSHIT!!

I am certain now from numerous Balamory watchings that Suzie and Penny absolutely despise each other. Watch for yourselves..

Do What??

I was at a jobs fair the other day in the AECC with a mate. After we’d been headhunted (ok that didn’t happen) we checked out some of the jobs on the board. I wrote down the ones that most intrigued me and thought I’d share…

Title:- Temp HR Generalist

What I think that means:- A Temp HR Generalist is a very wide encompassing position…for a while. Companies need people who they can make do whatever they say without fear of “that’s not in my job description”. Generalists, especially temp generalists, fit this position. A temp Generalist has no clout in a company at all. An HR generalist is there just to make up the numbers in the HR department, I mean you couldn’t put a Generalist in charge of hiring and firing could you ?

Title:- Draughts Person

What I think that means:- Well, we all know what a draughtsperson does, but how about a draughts person(two words). Logically speaking this must be someone who does things with draughts. Perhaps they can play lengthy draughts games, or perhaps they just eat lots of curry/chilli…

Title:- West African Accountant

What I think that means:- I’m fairly sure this job title is against employment laws. You can’t normally dictate what nationality a future employee will be…

Title:- Document Advisor

What I think this means:- I have never worked in an office before but I’m fairly sure this is a made up job for tax reasons. Documents don’t need advice, they need filed.

Title:- Wealth Advisors

What I think this means:- The boy who runs to the bookies for the boss. Duties include advising the boss of any wins/losses and corresponding amounts. This title could also be a bank manager (which is basically the same job.)

In other news, as soon as we went in the door I was approached by none other than a representative of the council shoving a free pen in my hand and telling me to get on their website for a look at available jobs. Who knows, I might do that! HA!

:roll:

stv

I can’t log in to the stv forums, never have been able to. Logging in just returns me to the login page! I can’t msg admin about it because I’m not logged in!!!!!!!

Doesn’t matter if i use FF or IE6. I haven’t tried a linux distro yet but I’m sure that wont matter either. I’ve also specifically added various stv.tv addresses to my cookies ALLOW list.

Sort it out stv, I can’t be the only one. There are loads of new signups with 0 posts to their name.

:mad: :mad:

Freeconomy

As part of my current, do jobs for non-cash rewards thing, I’ve come across this site and signed up. If you are a good person* you will too! If you do join, and need me to do something or borrow something you should remember the way to a man’s heart…

:wink:

btk

*if you don’t join this of course, you are indeed a bad person
