Converting Slashdot To XHTML

An excellent article has been posted on retooling Slashdot with web standards.

The article takes the current Slashdot site, an HTML 3.2 design classic, and converts it across to XHTML.

The process involves removing all the nested tables used for the layout and replacing them with clean XHTML blocks that are positioned using CSS.

The resulting page is small, search engine friendly, and is able to render sensibly in far more browsers.

Lots of food for thought!
