I agree with you wholeheartedly and my blog should be the squeakiest of all . Even 10 things, however, wouldn’t pass with flying colors (you can see from the comments on Willem’s post that some advice has already been given to the reviewer, LOL).

I checked out the actual theme demo page (http://www.infocreek.org/) and it validates perfectly. It is most definitely the add-ons and such that are to blame. I’m just being a stickler–if you state that you are valid, your blog should validate. You certainly won’t see me making that claim on mine, at least not yet.

You know — for those of us who regularly read and take to heart your advice, we *should* have blogs that are absolutely squeaky clean However, I’ll bet dollars to donuts that many of us (self very firmly within the group) won’t pass your acid test

As with Wilem’s blog the valid HTML and CSS badge is most likely part of the template and not something the blog owner put there. No doubt without the offending widgets the basic template WILL validate. I agree, though that for the sake of brutal honesty, they should be removed.

Don’t fix it too much or I won’t have anything to rant about!

I agree that the new color scheme sets yours apart.

With regards to OiS’s RSS, I can view it. It’s just not prominent enough if she wants people to subscribe.

There are several blogs I visit regularly that use this theme. I’m excited to see if any of them change and if so, what they change to. (Willem has already drastically changed the look of his theme–same theme, different color scheme which does set it apart).

Off-topic: glad to be “back.”

Woah! talk about widgets and buttons! There are more on this site than i've seen before on any other, and I thought I was bad. I had loads of widgets at one time...and the feedjit one...but have drastically reduced them. Actually I've been following your reviews (my blog is probably still last in the queue) and have been fixing my blog according to your advice. I'm finally happy with mine - although I know a professional's touch is what's missing in the final analysis, which is probably what i'll go for if 'business' picks up :0 great advice once again...
