It’s perfectly ok saying “Valid XHTML and CSS” but it may be nice to say that it is pretty stuffed in all older browsers. An example is IE6 and some of the old Mac browser versions. I am in no way dissing these themes though. What I have been looking for are specifically REALLY nice WordPress themes…. Here is one of them.

Catastrophe.

Absolutely lovely in the fact it is very well designed and will suit a LOT of uses. But it is certainly ‘Catastrophic’ if you view it in IE6.

Let me show you the screenshots of what I am talking about:

'Catastrophe' Theme in older Browsers eg IE6

You may have seen that I am currently plugging in a few features to the site such as the gallery banner on the index page (will be on others) and the nice popup overlay.

The whole thing is starting to look a bit tidier…. At the moment it is 100% CSS and XHTML Validated with zero warnings and working perfectly in IE6, Firefox 1 etc etc.
………. FOR NOW

I will come back later to sort out the banner and post panels…

I have never met a plugin, widget or JQuery feature that validates and works on ALL browsers out of the box yet…… that includes from Google in some cases!

Validation is a never ending task… good job I love it then isnt it.
