the only thing on the websites that need to be validated are feeds.

Who told you that crap...? I've never heared anyone say that in all the years i've been hand coding web sites so I don't know where you got that info from...?

validating is no biggie i mean my site doesnt even have doc types on any of the pages except like 2

Then you need to add DOCTYPE's because your forcing your website into "Quirks Mode" which is very bad for websites and SEO. How can a browser recognise your web page when it doesn't understand what type of document it is...? Find yourself a DOCTYPE and insert it into all pages and watch as more of your web site becomes indexed better.

I make all my websites with Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict coding and Valid CSS 2 because CSS 3 isn't finished completely yet so they are constantly making changes to it.

If you want a DOCTYPE I can give you one...


Insert this into every web page.

im not going to use doctypes.

Do you realise that if you don't use DOCTYPE's its bad for your website...?

Do you mind if I ask why you don't want to use them...?

Do you mind if I ask you:
Why do you Insist on him that he should use them anyway???

I'm simply letting him know that its bad for your web site thats all. No Doctype will make search engines go into "Quirks Mode" which will effect the site in general. I'm NOT insisting he uses it I am giving him some friendly advice to help him and his web site out.

Why, do you think I am wrong giving him some advice...?

im a female. i dont want to use them because they make no sense and are ahassel. my website isnt bad at all

I was just trying to give you advise thats all. Because I thought you wanted to learn XHTML and CSS. My mistake!!
