Good grief! I knew things were bad, but not that bad.

0.7% valid pages sounds like a huge improvement. It used to be more like
0.0007%. Things are looking brighter!

It does seem dreary, but until a year ago, I didn't validate my pages.
I didn't know such a thing existed. I used to produce a radio
program, and thought I was writing good code. Since discovering
online validators, I checked my old pages. Error-ridden!

Until a year ago, me either. Almost two years ago even, I knew nothing
about websites, HTML, CSS and the like. All I did was Flash. And not
even bad at it, if I may say so :)
Still, my mom is proud of me. :D

It's a web site Jim, but not as we know it.
Oh how sweet! I am in the top 0.7%...

Indeed, from your post I thought it might be not just interesting,
but worth linking to. Unfortunately I just get a blank grey screen
in my PDF reader. Have you considered an HTML (or plain text) version?

Yes, I surely agree. And did you know that Adobe offers an online
PDF-to-HTML service? Very handy:

It would be just great if you'd convert it, if it's not too much
trouble.
