Answer» Hello: I'm using FP2000 & Windows 8.
I have been checking my site with a Bing SEO validator and now have all my pages up to Bing standards but when I have W3C validate my site, [http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rainbowsedgefineart.com%2F&CHARSET=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0&No200=1&st=1&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.3] it shows all kinds of errors and warnings - none of which I understand at this point. Then, I copied off the W3C suggested code and made up a "fake" page in my FrontPage site and it was declared PERFECT by the W3C validator--- BUT - the Bing validator found my new page (using the W3C code) FULL OF ERRORS AND MISTAKES!
Both versions look good and work on the web, so my question is:
Which of these codes is best (the W3C code uses CSS) to use and which version will satisfy GOOGLE and other browsers? Is there a way to completely examine a site for: errors, bad SEO, and any other thing that is wrong with a site?
thanks,
jim & irene Is there any reason you are tied to Frontpage 2000? The issue is that web standards are constantly CHANGING, along with what is the "best" way to do something. Frontpage 2000 is extremely old by these standards and will produce very "old fashioned" HTML code.
For example this LINE of code from your site:
Code: [Select]<body background="_themes/clearday/cdbkgnd.jpg" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" link="#0033CC" vlink="#6699FF" alink="#00CC33">
Nowadays (and in the last few years) it is discouraged to use styles like this in your HTML. Instead you would use what is called a "CSS Stylesheet" which is a SEPARATE file that contains all the styles used on your site.
You would really be best moving away from Frontpage 2000 to either a new WYSIWYG editor, a content management system (CMS, most popular option nowadays) or to write the HTML/CSS code directly in a text editor.
