First Ever XHTML 1.0 Strict Bidding Directory?

    So, in looking at bidding directories around the web, I have notice the poor coding standards (mostly due to the scripts).

    Can I say I have the first valid HTML 1.0 Strict and CSS bidding directory on the web? I have not seen anyone publish it, nor have I found any looking around the internet.

    Valid CSS
    Valid XHTML

    Bidding Directory

    Well done. Nice job!
    I haven't really noticed with other bid directories. Its not top of my list things to check as long as the site is viewable. Its a nice achievement though :)

    Took me over 2 days to do it because the code was SOOO bad.

    I just like clean code, and hopefully it helps Search Engines crawl my site.

    Yours is Transitional, mine is Strict.

    Still the first one ever (if that means anything).

    It detects your code by:
    Strict is just that, more strict XHTML coding standards. Transitional lets you get away with a few of the old HTML coding "flaws".

    Not 100% sure of this, but I believe it is easier for Search Engines to crawl a Strict site, but having valid code that corresponds to your DOCTYPE is the most important factor.

    Transitional is a little more lenient than strict.
    Both of them are acceptable, and claiming a site better because it is strict over transitional is just hogwash.

    I never said mine was better because it was Strict, I was just saying they are different.
