Embedding Your Flash File in a XHTML Page.
Need an Adobe 'Flash' movie in your web page?
I spent many happy (huh!) hours looking for a way to embed my movie into an xhtml page. You can check the result here http://www.tileandtubs.com/ if you would please, or just take my word for it.
If you really must join me in having flash embedded content (frowned upon in many circles I know) look no further than this method....

Checking CSS2 and CSS3 web pages using the W3C online facility
I've been using the CSS online checking facility provided by the W3C for many years now. This resource allows you to add a link to your webpages which when followed, reports on the compliance of the page to the recommended W3C standards. If the page doesn't comply then any discrepancies are listed for the user to rework.
Web page layout conventions
Just read this article by Andy Rutledge in which he examines a couple of the inferior Web design conventions still 'knocking around' the web. He exposes their flaws and then suggests more effective alternatives to these conventions, explaining why they work better.
Do take a look at the link if you find web design issues interesting.
Bad Layout ConventionsTesting Web Sites with user agents Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 & MSIE 7 on the same machine.
I've had the problem of testing the IE6 user agent rendering of my Web Sites for a while now! The notorious browser bugs of this Web Browser were being handled by my use of multiple style sheets (and still are - only now I use the Explorer built in comment selection of styles). After install of IE 7 though everything went pear shaped (as no support for checking IE6 was avaiable after the browser upgrade).

Update on this implementation of the Drupal 5.3 CMS
Hi,
I'm just trying out a few themes here before settling on one to modify in earnest. Current favourites for this blog site and the 'circlewebs.co.uk' pages are 'Alek' and 'Sky'. I've also been familiarising with the recommended default theme 'Zen'.
I'm also using a modified version of Mutiflex37 on the http://www.b-society.org.uk website.
Any ideas and recommendations will be welcome please.
