Time is an evil thing especially when you have a lot of ideas for articles but not the time to pretype and to publish them.
I‘m trying my best but school takes up a lot of time right now. I just thought I let you know before you start to worry…
The majority of the Internet users should have heard about the World Wide Web Consortium or better known as W3C.
The W3C is the main international standards organization for the World Wide Web (W3). It is arranged as a consortium where member organizations maintain full-time staff for the purpose of working together in the development of standards for the W3.
Or as Michael Martin from ProBlogDesign.com described it in his article “Does Valid Code Help Your Blog?”:
The W3C is the internet’s daddy. They created HTML, CSS, and dozens of other specifications that govern the use of the technologies that makes the internet thrive today. Valid code is code which meets their guidelines, and can be tested in a validator, such as the HTML and CSS ones.
I don’t want to discuss if using valid code should be used in a blog or if it is actually helpful for a blog. To be honest, I had it in mind, but somehow ProBlogDesign.com beat me to it, which is actually helpful because I can skip this part 
To sum Michael Martin’s article up I dare to say that it is useful to use valid code, or better: Web Standards, in a blog.
His reasons are all great, but I have to add one more reason why you should use Web Standards: chances are higher that your blog is accessible by all humans, especially those with disabilities.
Less known among the Internet users is the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) of the W3C. Although some webmaster and “webcoder” know and follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) put together by the staff of the WAI there are way more webmaster / “webcoder” who are not following these guidelines.

wow, 4 Blog news in a row…I really need to change that…
Anyway, here are my plans for future articles:
On a side note:
I finally had the time to get rid of the ugly YouTube (and other) “embed” code and turn it into the nice “object” version.
Special thanks to A List Apart as they have an article about the “embed to object” conversion.
Update:
I forgot to mention it above: I switched from blog.ruelicke.net to www.ruelicke.net as I don’t need extra domains for the blog and for my main page anymore. As of today the blog is my main page. 
I hope you noticed that I changed the design
A friend is still working on creating a logo for me, but I couldn’t resist any longer because I really love this template. Right now I need to do some minor adjustments, please don’t worry if something doesn’t work as intended
It is one of the many changes which will follow this week, so stay tuned for more news.
Oh, there is another poll after the jump. If you select any of the negative options, please write a comment and explain what you don’t like. Maybe I will edit it for you

As I already announced I plan to re-design my blog a bit.
I’m already working on a new design, which will be based on www.ruelicke.net and the same colors I’m using right now. At the moment I’m wondering which content I should drop although I will keep the tutorials for sure.
I think I will wait for your opinions, because whatever I decide to do, I will also need to change my “Randomness at its finest” except I stick to my current blog setup…
Loading ...Update:
The template is done, I’m just waiting for a friend who promised to create me a logo…or at least to give it a try.
I also installed a bunch of nice and usefull features/plugins for my blog:
