Well, with blogs being a major focus of the whole Web 2.0 bubble craze, I was naturally a little worried that this here blog might be a part of it. Fortunately, the handy Web 2.0 Validator service was able to set my mind at rest. I scored a fairly safe 6 out of 40. Even after this post has pushed the count up by 1 or 2 points (and since the validator uses a slightly different ruleset each time, it’s impossible to accurately predict exactly what the score will be), that’s still low enough for me.
In fact, I’m so relieved, I’m going to make a little badge to tell people about it.

Text on green side of badge not showing up at all well, at this end.
Maybe mid grey (silver) text for that?
No, that actually makes it worse. I’ve made the shade of green darker, though, which makes it a bit clearer.
I liked the old colour better.
Looks fine now.
