reading wrap up 3

3) Go to: http://validator.w3.org/ Type in the URL for MSU's webpage (http://www.msu.edu) and what results did you get? Now try the address for Jakob Nielsen's site (http://www.useit.com) and another website of your choosing. How do the results compare to one another? What explanations does the validator give you? How does this connect back to the issues that Zeldman has discussed?

1. When i typed in MSU's webpage it showed that ten errors were found.
2. When i entered Jakob Nielsen's page, there were 24 errors and ten warnings.
3. I used Facebook as the site of my choice and found there were 42 errors listed.

MSU's webpage clearly has the least amount of errors. Most of the errors on Facebook consisted of code being in the wrong place, like "does not allow link here, does not allow title here, does not allow meta here". Zeldman spoke about how standards can assist in situations just like this.
