Is XHTML worth it?

general

It might be apparent in the few short posts here that I've been trying to keep this homemade (and I mean homemade, there's no blogging system behind it) XHTML valid.

You might also notice from my last post (if you check the validity of it), that I still have a way to go.

So I ask myself, is it worth it to keep trying to get it to validate? Why am I reinventing the wheel (why not use a blogging system)? Who cares?

I guess the answer is all summed in my appetite to learn...

Mostly they were from 3rd part pieces, such as the examples shown for using tinyMCE or JQuery, etc...

Gone, it's all gone. Well it's not as though there was a lot to loose, but nonetheless, it's still gone. But never fear, it'll be back soo enough. It given me a great oppurtunity to rewrite a few things!
