invalid css part deux

I went in search of a few plugins to do a few things which submit or vote stories on my blog on various social bookmarking services and sites.

Frankly to go and set up each one individually would be a right pain so I opted for trying out notable but saw that sociable was far easier to implement. Simply activate the plugin and bob’s your uncle, whereas notable requires that you edit your template and add some code in the loop area and I wasn’t in the mood to fiddle with Colin’s template.

So I installed Sociable but guess what ?

W3C CSS Validator Results for http://blogs.thetimes.co.za/desousa/
Sorry! We found the following errors
URI : http://blogs.thetimes.co.za/desousa/wp-content/plugins/sociable/sociable.css

-sigh-

Do you have ANY idea how irritating that is?
So now I am forced to go and fiddle with the template while I try to get Notable to work and I have a very sneaky suspiscion that it might work just fine because there are no css files and xhtml is easier to sort out than CSS.

More’s the pity about Sociable though because Muti are punting a hacked version of Sociable which is also not css compliant which is available over here. The fact that there is a “Mutified” version is awsome but sadly, not compliant :(

Rafiq, if you get this, please be a champion and sort that css out and re-release that sucker, it would be awesome!

    If, should be when ;) Going to to a mass update of all things tweaked pertaining to muti some time after TED Global. If you’re attending the 27 Dinner in Jozi tonight Erik will be demoing something new Neville’s been working on.
